Crosby's Vinegar News

     I excited to announce that I now have four restaurants trying out my new vinegars, the Elderberry and Acorn.  If you're out and about at any of these fine dining places please ask about the new vinegars.  The Fire And Ice Restaurant in Middlebury is now using it at there salads bar.  Here is the link to there web site.  http://www.fireandicerestaurant.com.    Although they have only been using it for a short time I'm looking forward to hear any and all comments.   Zach's cafe at the Grand Isle Art works in Grand Isle Vermont is also trying it out.  I'm also looking forward to see what type of recipe Zach comes up with and how he uses it.  They have many special meal events so check the site often.     http://grandisleartworks.com/cafe-at-the-gallery/.

      Today I dropped off bottles of both my vinegars to the Storm Cafe in Middlebury. http://www.thestormcafe.com.   After talking with the owner/chef he was excited to try them both.  He mentioned using them possibly in his spring salad dressing and was going to experiment with a few new recipes.  And finally in Winooski, Vermont,  Misery Loves Co. also known as MLC a  newer restaurant on Main Street.   They have a really awesome menu using some foods you don't usually see in most restaurants.  They have a real nice bakery as well with fresh donuts daily.  Yum!! They have freshly roasted coffee which is exactly what I love, because I roast my own coffee at home and enjoy a great cup of fresh coffee.  He also mentioned he has already used acorns in one of his recipes.  I'll be interested in seeing what he does with the Acorn Vinegar.   Here is a link to there web site.  http://www.miserylovescovt.com.

In addition to these restaurants I also sent my vinegars to Best Of Vermont for sampling they are a distributor of Vermont food products that you can buy online.

What's happening this Spring!

Vermont Stellar Designs is taking that next step in the craft world.    I now have items for sale at the Grand Isle Art Works.  Presently,  I have many blacksmithing items for sale including hooks, copper/brass spoon sets and my specialty vinegars.  I have many new items on the drawing board.  I will have cheese cutters, Damascus bottle openers and pendants available this year.  Also, look for me at the Brandon Farmers Market and  Middlebury Farmers Market this summer.   I'm also excited about sending my vinegars to Best of Vermont for sampling.  I have a few of the local restaurants in Middlebury interested in using my vinegars.  My big project I started this winter is my Crosby sign.  It will have many scrolls incorporated in the design.  It's all steel using square and flat stock.  The letters are hand drawn by myself and cut out using cold rolled steel.  It is riveted together using steel and copper rivets.  It's final home will be at the end of my driveway.   It will be approximately 40" long and about 30" tall.   Keep checking back for updated photos of its progress.
