Trader Joes

So I went to Trader Joe's for the first time a couple of months ago and was intrigued by the uniqueness of some of the items that the hippies sell there. Been back a couple of times since then (mostly to restock on wine) but the different foods I have bought to try have been hit or miss. Some I really like and some things I throw out after opening. What do they sell that you recommend I try?

You like good beer? If you do, Trader Joe's has some great options. Chief among them is their private-labeled "Stockyard Oatmeal Stout," which is actually brewed by Goose Island, a very popular microbrewery out of Chicago. $1 a beer, and it is a very, very good stout.

They have several other privately-labeled beers that are pretty good. I enjoy their JosefsBrau Dunkelweizen (brewed by Gordon Biersch). Also $1 a beer.

They carry North Coast Old Rasputin, which is probably my favorite beer, as well as some of the more popular craft offerings (Stone, Rogue, Unibroue).

As you can see, I mainly just buy beer at Trader Joe's (and wine, like yourself). They do have a chili pepper hot sauce that is awesome -- it's not really hot, but it has a great flavor.
