| May 12--TASTY TREATS FOR EVERY PALATE: It's as cosmopolitan as caviar and as accessible as bananas. Perhaps that's why husband and wife team Kris and Margaret Furniss named their new gourmet market and cafe in downtown Charleston -- drumroll, please ... With a projected opening date of May 19, this Dean & Deluca-esque market runs the gamut with its selections, offering lobster medallions and black truffle macaroni and cheese alongside chicken salad and a sandwich bar. |

| The Picky Eater: Dr. Tea Serves Up No-Calorie Treats |
| from Contra Costa Times (Walnut Creek, Calif.) |
| May 13--YESTERDAY I HAD a cup of orange sherbet followed by some chocolate cream pie. And yes, I can still button my pants -- and breathe -- because all of these treats are calorie-free, thanks to some guy named Dr. Tea. He's a class-A tea-tweaker from Hollywood who dreamed up the idea of pumping the flavors of hideously caloric, fattening things into all kinds of tea to make Dr. Tea's Craving Teas. |

| Canyon County Wine Gets Attention at D.C. Eatery |
| from The Idaho Statesman, Boise |
| May 13--WASHINGTON -- The swank practically oozes from the walls of Oya, a trendy Asian-themed restaurant in the capital's increasingly upscale Penn Quarter neighborhood, just around the corner from the National Portrait Gallery. The wine list is equally eclectic, and sommelier Andrew Stover offers one exclusive selection that stumps even connoisseurs: a 2004 syrah from Canyon County's Sawtooth Vineyards. Idaho's burgeoning wine business got a boost in 2007 when the government approved the Snake River Valley as an American viticultural area, the same sort of designation that distinguishes wine made from grapes grown in the Napa or Willamette valleys, for example. |
