Julia Reed Shares Her Foodie Favorites: Gourmet Food & Wine on Taigan.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The country's premier place to find the finest and freshest gourmet foods is online at Taigan.com, according to Vogue alum and Newsweek Food & Drink columnist Julia Reed. But you don't have to be a gourmand to shop on Taigan.com, as foodies of all ranks are taking note of the online shopping site's gourmet retailers like South Florida's Delaware Chicken Farm and Seafood Market, Blackberry Farm located in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, Atlanta-based Star Provisions, St. James Cheese Company in New Orleans and New York-based Wine for All.

"Finding high-quality, great-tasting food online can be time-consuming and, frankly, a bit dicey," says Reed, who regularly shares entertaining stories, ideas and recipes on Taigan's Online Magazine, Fetch. "Fortunately, Taigan has a highly edited collection of specialty shops offering gourmet foods and wines from around the world."

Check out Julia Reed's gourmet picks on Taigan.com:

Grill, baby grill with Blackberry Farm's famous J&S Barbecue Sauce (http://www.taigan.com/shops/blackberryfarm/items/8597). It's that end of summer time of the year where everyone breaks out the gourmet barbecue concoction and the men show off their flame broiling skills.

Sommelier Eli Hardof, owner of Taigan's Wine for All (http://www.taigan.com/shops/wineforall), prefers to help customers choose a wine with food pairings in mind. Hardof recommends a dark and layered wine such as Pertuisane 2004 (http://www.taigan.com/shops/wineforall/items/7829) to pair with lamb, a summer barbecue favorite. Made from 90% Grenache and 10% Carignane, the vines are 40-80 years old and yield fruit of tremendous depth and character. 

Delaware Chicken Farm and Seafood Market (http://www.taigan.com/shops/delawarechicken) offers the finest and freshest seafood, meats and poultry available. Coast to coast, from show-stopping Alaskan King Crab Legs (http://www.taigan.com/shops/delawarechicken/items/9189) to succulent South Florida Lobster Tails (http://www.taigan.com/shops/delawarechicken/items/6095), any order from Delaware Chicken Farm and Seafood Market will turn a meal into a gourmet event!

St. James Cheese Company on Taigan (http://www.taigan.com/shops/stjamescheese) strives to offer its customers a wide selection of perfectly ripe cheese that will entice novice and veteran cheese-lovers alike. Shop for all kinds of artisanal cheeses like Fleur de Maquis (http://www.taigan.com/shops/stjamescheese/items/7400). Also known as Brindamour, this French cheese is made with sheep's milk from Corsica and coated with rosemary, juniper berries and bird's eye peppers.
