Pro Chef's Val works his magic on-site to provide the
very best knife edge available in Charlotte. He recommends professional sharpening every 12 - 18 months with regular
home use. More often if you are a professional Chef or if you use your knives as often as one.
We can show you how to use a sharpening steel to keep
knife edges smooth between professional sharpenings. Knife skills classes are offered every other month to teach everything
from slicing to chiffonade. You'll also learn how to store, care for, and select knives that match your needs.
Standard sharpening cost for a traditional culinary knife
is $7.00 per blade. If additional repair is required, cost will be more.

WINE
NEEDS TO BREATHE
Wine which
has been allowed to breathe tastes better. As wine breathes, it opens up, and releases its intended aromas and flavors. Traditionally,
decanters were used to aerate wine. However, decanting is time consuming, cumbersome, and inconvenient.
Vinturi's patent pending design
speeds up this process with ease and convenience. Perfect aeration in the time it takes to pour a glass.
ALL THE
TASTE WITH NONE OF THE WAIT
Simply
hold vinturi over a glass and pour wine through. Vinturi draws in and mixes the proper amount of air for the right amount
of time, allowing your wine to breathe instantly. You'll notice a better bouquet, enhanced flavors and smoother finish. It's
that fast. It's that easy.
This great new tool will be on everyone wine lover's wish list this
year! We have plenty of them in stock now, but can't promise they will last until Christmas.
