Ever since I first tried Calivirgin's olive oil in Calistoga, I've wanted to get to the source…read morewhere it was harvested and bottled in Lodi. Last weekend on a trip to Sacramento, I finally had a chance to stop by their Olive Mill and Winery. There is a nice sparking clean outdoor patio with picnic tables within a few steps from the olive oil grove but it was a bit hot that day so we opted to sit inside. In addition to the olive oil tasting set, there were some brunch items such as a crostini and salad as well as a Mediterranean plate with hummus. We opted for the crostini, olive oil tasting and a cappuccino. The jalapeño olive oil was unique and flavorful enough that we bought a couple bottles of it to take home. The pear vinaigrette was thick and tangy. The waitresses were friendly and helpful when we had a couple questions about the dishes. The shelves in the shop area is full of flavored olive oils and vinaigrette as well as ceramic and a whole slew of items for serving charcuterie. If you are a fan of olive oil and are planning on a trip up to Sacramento or Lake Tahoe, would definitely recommend stopping by to check out Calivirgin.

I don't normally like cherry pies, seriously not my favorite but wowzers! Their cherry pies are delicious. Their raviolis are so good too! They sell cute baskets as well and of course I had to buy one because, why not?! If you're in the Clements area, then I highly recommend that you take a little pit stop at this lovely little market.

We have tried a few items and love their pork chops. I don't know what makes them so good, tender and flavorful. Staff are friendly and efficient. We always get a few of their sausages, too. They're definitely worth the visit and we keep trying different things. During the holidays, they fill the store with panetones and various seasonings and cookies. It's lovely! The warm, nostalgic feeling of the classic butcher shop instantly feels magical.

I would have liked it hot though. But I didn't ask if they serve this hot. Also got the grape stomp with spicy mustard on the side. This was a hot sandwich and it was good! Glad I got the spicy mustard on the side because I did not like it (tasted like it was mixed with horseradish). The pickle and hershey kiss on the side was a nice touch. You can also request to split the sandwich if you're sharing. Customer service is great; everyone was so pleasant. The shop was bigger than expected. They sale other things in there; for example, pasta noodles, jarred sauces, frozen raviolis, different types of sausages, etc.

Pretty upscale market with a nice deli and bakery for this area. I'd say real close to Whole Foods…read morequality and the prices match. But this local indy store has been around in this town for over 55 years, so it is well deserved for them to be a local fave. I only got a sandwich for the road and a bakery item, so no significant grocery shopping. I was traveling back home and didn't have a cooler so I refrained. But next time if I have a cooler, their meat counter will get exercised. Got a Salami Sandwich ($11/4*) from their deli and it was pretty solid. Every sandwich is customized, so every customer fills out a card, checks off your preferences and hand it over to a deli clerk. Nothing out of the ordinary here, just your basic sandwich stuff, but with quality and fresh ingredients. I liked everything in my sandwich, was even to put alfalfa sprouts in it, as I haven't had that option in over a decade. I wished there would have been an option to add oil n vinegar to make it more 'Italian' tasting, so I had to settle on just mayo and mustard, which is more classic American tasting to me. Still a solid sandwich that I was able to eat in 2 intervals so a decent value in my book. Coffee Crunch Cake ($7/3.5*) Very impressive tall cake with a very moist crumb. A little too industrial tasting for me but better than other grocery cakes like Safeway, which taste like plastic to me, so many additives and stabilizers. Cake part had a light chocolate taste, but maybe it was supposed to be more coffee-like? I couldn't taste any coffee except for this super hard and sweet candy on top used for garnish. Indeed that candy offered a 'crunch' element but in a very cloying and awkward way. Sure it was nice and glossy and even resembled shiny coarse stone like obsidian. But to take a bite that big of hard candy to go along a delicate cake was just too extreme for me. I think if that candy were in smaller chunks, more like a crumb texture, it would disperse more sending coffee flavor more evenly and not risk breaking a tooth on that hard sweet candy. I had higher hopes for this. Gawked at their butchers counter and it was pretty darn impressive, Pretty high quality stuff but also insanely expensive. Steaks start at $20 per pound and easily rises double to triple from there. But they got some serious cut steaks here, like 2-3 inch thick cuts and they even have a couple versions of wagyu steaks. Nothing is prewrapped, everything has to go through a clerk. Produce section just meh and regular. Well kept but Safeway may have a more extensive produce section. Dry goods definitely Whole Foods level. They seem to have a guy out front bbqing meats like sausages and tri-tip, like 7 days a week, which is impressive. I got there around 11 am and the employee was just setting up. Otherwise I may have tried something. Cool store, that if this were in my town, I'd be a reg. Since I was just a passing traveler, just call me impressed.

Like I'm about to drive home quiet with the radio off and everything. First off, The guy that helped me with the dreads. Excellent! Superb service. The grilled cheese was perfect! Crispy, toasted buttery edges and center. The mushrooms were sliced uniform and had a heavy presence! Not lack of mushrooms what so ever. Everything held together with a hard cheese pull and garlic herb seasoning. Something as simple as a grilled cheese if often made horribly. I can't praise this one enough! Garlic tatter tots were crispy, covered in garlic aioli, garlic bits and parsley. My family stopped eating what they got and went in on them! Lemonade is my vice. Every time I see lemonade on the menu it's mandatory and I'm glad I went for it. Perfect! Tart, fresh lemon and just the right sweetness! If you're reading this and are a fan of grilled cheese. Stop. Give them a try because you won't be disappointed! I'll be back to try everything else eventually ‍

She was extremely patient and giving me every opportunity to ask questions, describe products and give samples to give me the true taste of what she was describing. She was very chipper, never rushing and made me feel like I NEED to come back! Hoping the management reads my review, typically I only write if service was excellent or notably terrible. This visit, this customer service, will make it that much easier, even waiting for 2 hours. Thank you Allie!

Love this place!!…read more ALL of the sausages are amazing. We have usuals that we get: Chorizo and Hawaiian Luau Sausage (regular and spicy) and trying new ones: British Bangers, Portuguese Linguic, Polish Kielbasa THIS is what they usually serve at festivals: the most delicious Smoked Dakota Fresh Bratwurst - A MUST BUY!! This place gets busy so have patience and expect to wait in line (outside - so be prepared when it is HOT outside) , they only allow 6 people inside at a time. Also, review the menu before going and prepared to place your order. You can still peruse and add while they are preparing your order. Street parking only (or at least that was all I saw) - could be challenging to find a spot. Would I go back?? YES.... All the way from San Jose.
