Texas—BJECAUSE MOST FRENCH WINES TODAY OWE THE
ST NClE TO TEXAS! Back in the 18M, a tiny root louse an
"phylloxera" was snuffing the very life out of the French vineyards; THE
FRENCH WINE INDUSTRY VIRTUALLY ll 1EE 11-1hI dlED ON THE
E
BRINK OF ACTION!! ]Eads in Texas, maeanw! , f !e, a
horticulturist by the name of ureas Vo! Munson was busy
crossbreeding hardy, native Texas grapes t, amongst other
characteristics, jet happen,Al to be resistant to phylloxera. Hearing of
Munson's work, French agricultural its prevail on him to send
them his Texas rootstock...onto which i ey ultimately graft their own
French vines. AND THAT'S HOW 11EXAS SAT THE FRENCH
WINE INDUSTRY FROM CATOPHIC RUIN! Not only did
Mr. Munson save the wine industry, he also save.] the non-alcoholic
grape juices made from the same premum grape varietals that are
typi,. ! !y used by the wine industry (cabernet sauvignon, pint blanc,
etc.). This year, we're expanding our successful line of nm -alcoholic,
premium -quality grape juice by launching Le Choix du President RO6C

unanimous—EVERYONE LOVED THEM! I asked the
manufacturer if the cookies could be made in the shape
of our lovable Ted. Our NEW President's Choice

President's Choice Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a top quality Italian oil made from the
fust pressing of the olives; since no heat or steam is used, a light, very flavorful oil
without bitterness is produced. It's a must for distinctive salads and pastas. Only $3.99
per 500 mL bottle; compare to the up to $9.95 charged by some Toronto specialty
food shops for 500 mL of extra virgin olive oil!
STOP THE OIL PRESSES! A store manager recently told me, "My customers are
screaming for Balsamic vinegar. Whenever I get some in, certain customers
(probably Italian restaurants) buy it by the case to ensure they have a constant
supply. Please bring it back!" So here it is—PRESIDENT'S CHOICE
BALSAMIC VINEGAR from Italy, a dark, aged vinegar with a
mellow, sweet & sour quality. Only $3.99 per

BRANDY BRANDY BEANS!!
The late Austrian-bom American mathematician, Kurt
Goedel, was noted' for his strange manner of speech.
Consequently, few ever knew what to make of the extraordinary
things he said. Below, for example, is the professor's equation for
time travel. If you can't decipher his Newtonian hieroglyphics,
then here's another way to go back in time—BUY OUR
BRANDT BRANDY BEANS! THEY'LL
WHISK YOU BACK TO
CHRISTMAS 1978 — theear we
discovered that a 150 g pkg of brandy
beans priced at $1.99 would fly off
the shelves. At that time many of
you discovered the thrill of biting
through the deep, dark chocolatey
exterior of these beans, followed by the splash of
brandy inside! This year, it costs no more to relive
the e rience—because once again, WE HAVE
BRANDY BEANS AT THE SAME PRICE AS
1978 -ONLY $1.99 for a 150 g pkg!!! Available: L,
LS, NF, Z, SC.
