Salumi Chicago on woot plus this week. Now that I’ve tried the stuff as it’s meant to be, wow it’s great! Fantastic owner, too, who immediately got back to me about my first order from woot that had a packaging problem that spoiled the meat. Quick and gracious replacement. Highly recommended, both from a deliciousness standpoint and because the owner is a great guy.
@klezman I’m sure it’s good (if you don’t get spoiled product like some 30% of the reviews on Amazon seem to), but I continue to prefer Molinari from San Francisco. Consistently high quality as long as I can remember back to the early 1950s and - per my father and grandfather - back to their beginnings in business in 1905. Pity that only the salumetti have natural casing anymore… there was a time in my memory that all decent salami had a natural casing.
@rpm Yeah, that’s what I had happen with my first order. I emailed them directly, described the issue, and the owner immediately wrote back saying they had packaging problems and were about to have it fixed for good. And sent me a very generous replacement of more salumi than had been spoiled.
When I finally tasted it, I thought it was very well put together and the flavours were very well balanced. Nowhere near as salty as some other brand, either.
I had Molinari a few times when I was living up in the Bay Area, but I don’t specifically recall how much I liked it.
@klezman I bought the Chicago salami sampler on your recommendation. I can attest that the olympia provisions summer sausage is one of the best I’ve tried in some time. Got it from Meh last spring. Very tasty with a little bit of a kick.
Reverse Wine Snob has the same Pedroncelli 6-bottle red mix that was offered here Nov 21, 2020, for the same 6-bottle price as was offered here ($74.99). Shipping is $5 per order (which makes the 6-pack $5 cheaper than it was here, if you have to pay for shipping here).
These include the Alto Vineyards Sangiovese, the Family Vineyards Petite Sirah, the Barrel Select Cabernet Franc, the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, the Three Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and the Mother Clone Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel.

@bunnymasseuse@Mark_L That is in the sweet spot of some Pedroncelli faves. Must not, must hold on for Berserker Day, must not buy this…
Speaking of nice sales, Navarro was offering their annual Fuku bag of six mystery bottles for $85, but they sold out early. They’re still offering 1-cent ground shipping on a case through the original end date of that sale, Jan 20.
@bunnymasseuse@InFrom@Mark_L They sold out of the fukubukuro? I guess that makes my decision easy! I love that sale and have lucked out a few times with it.

@klezman cooking/serving recommendations? Never bought meat on woot except the jerky offered years ago…
@bunnymasseuse Room temperature or from the fridge, sliced. It’s classic fairly dry salami. Have with a nice charcuterie plate for lunch or dinner.

I’ll second the Molinari recommendation. That’s some great stuff… at decent prices… although I’ll admit it’s been awhile since I’ve ordered.

@bunnymasseuse Beat me by an hour. Looks like a great deal!
@bunnymasseuse Actually, it looks like I beat you by 1 minute, which is why you probably didn’t see my post before you started composing yours.

@merrybill @ScottW58 The $20 off $50 is solid. You need at least 30% off to have their pricing turn into good QPR.
Any suggestions, Scott?
@klezman @merrybill
Also AMF50 and hot 50 worked for 50 off 150 I will let you know what I bought in the morning when I’m sober
