Feast of Ideas – Part 1

If family and friends are flocking to your place for Turkey Day next week, may we suggest dividing and conquering the celebration preparation? Carve out some time this week – during lunch or after work—to swing through Spec’s. Stocking up on necessities now means less time gobbled up by shopping next week!

Check back here in a few days for a second helping of ideas. In the mean time, here’s a buffet of suggestions to get you started.

  • Bubbly – Nothing says special occasion like the pop of corks then flutes brimming with champagne or sparkling wine. Greet guests as they arrive, toast the end of a wonderful gathering or serve it throughout the meal for a festive accompaniment.
  • Wine – ask one of our experts to recommend a wine that goes with what you’re serving—yes, there are wines that go with the entrée and all the sides, too!
  • Spirits – if a good sipping Scotch, bourbon or brandy make Dad and your Uncle Carl feel special, surprise them.
  • Appetizers & Snacks – gourmet cheeses, specialty crackers, exotic nuts (not to be confused with family members!)
  • Must-Haves – beverage napkins, party toothpicks, imported olive oils, cheese knives–you’ll be surprised what you’ll find in our aisles that you can’t do without!
