MY FAVES
These are my favorite food- and kitchen-shopping sites that I use all the time. Here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, it's very difficult to find anything "gourmet" beyond some generic balsamic vinegar and Pyrex dishes :(
I urge you to browse around them all and shop to your heart's content, but
HERE ARE MY ABSOLUTE TOP FAVORITES:
 TABASCO COUNTRY STORE
Tabasco is far far more than that little bottle on your grocers' shelves! Salsas. Snacks, Pasta Sauce, 5 different chile sauces, Apparel, kitchenware, and much more.
COOKING.COM
These folks have everything! Food-Kitchenware-Utensils-More! Good prices and prompt service. The prices aren't bad either!
WINE ANTHOLOGY
Terrific discount prices on well-known labels; huge stock of all types and prices of wines; Great fast FedEx service! Live chat with wine experts; and more.
WINE.COM
Terrific classy firm featuring top wines in all price ranges and vintages; Wine Club; Accessories; More. They ship to all 50 states, and they handle your account very efficiently! Don't pass this one up!
KING ARTHUR FLOUR'S BAKER'S CATALOGUE
A 200-year tradition, the company is employee-owned, quality-centered, and has the most terrific selection of everything for baking, trouble-shooting your baking problems, yummy recipes and more. Their flour is far superior to the national brands (i.e., Gold Medal, Pillsbury, etc.). Plus, the people are like family! I love 'em!
THE GARLIC STORE
Hundreds of varieties of organically grown garlic in Fort Collins, Colorado--I always order from here and I love them. They also feature some great recipes (including one of mine---hehehe). They usually send a little "freebie" with your order, too.
PENZEY'S
Loads of spices, chiles and herbs, powdered and dried, and their own special blends---all in different sizes, that suit everyone's needs---and it's much fresher than you'll find in your grocery. They also usually send a little "freebie" with your order, too.
MURRAY'S CHEESES
Top New York City cheese shop! Fast service. Recommended by David Rosengharten
