ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Our Mission
Kobrand imports and markets a distinguished portfolio of hand selected brands representing virtually every major wine region of the world and its most iconic specialty spirits. Family owned since its founding in 1944, Kobrand attributes its success to a single guiding principle that describes the people, products and relationships behind it: quality.
The portfolio is a collection of gems of New World and Old, including American wineries such as Cakebread Cellars, Sequoia Grove and St. Francis as well as the wines of European masters such as Champagne Taittinger and Maison Louis Jadot and the Portos of Taylor Fladgate, Fonseca and Croft. The legendary Sassicaia from Italy’s Tenuta San Guido and the wines of Craggy Range in New Zealand are relatively new additions that will stand the test of time. The spirits portfolio includes the original AlizĂ© liqueurs as well as fine Cognacs, Armagnacs and other premium spirits.
A portfolio like this grows out of the decades-long experience of passionate professionals who seek out the star viticulturists, winemakers and distillers who are its key contributors. This is Kobrand today: a story of continuing tradition, a story of strong commitment, a story of innovative excellence... a Story of Quality.


Let the Easter wine hunt begin!

Even the Easter bunny can’t resist a good bottle of wine. While the kids are searching for dyed eggs, the adults are busy preparing Easter dinner for family and friends.

What’s a delicious meal without the perfect bottle of wine to pair with it? Here are some stellar options for your holiday table.

Ham dishes are a staple on Easter Sunday. The recipes are usually sweet to balance out the hams saltiness so you need a wine with enough sweet fruit and

acidity to balance out that sweet and saltiness. A fresh and crisp acidic wine, like The Seeker Riesling ($14,) features vibrant fruit including citrus,

peach and pineapple, has just enough sweetness to balance out the ham.





If lamb is your family’s signature dish, whether rack of lamb, or roast of lamb, stick with a well-rounded red wine, like The Seeker Malbec ($14.)

It’s acidic and fruity taste can handle the robust flavors of the lamb, but will not overpower.







Don’t forget about the vegetables and potatoes, the compliment to the main dishes. Pair with a rich and ripe California
chardonnay like St. Francis Chardonnay ($16.) The fresh melon, citrus, and pineapple flavors make this a versatile medium-bodied
Chardonnay that will compliment roasted vegetables like brussel sprouts and a creamy potato salad.
For the fresh fruit dessert like lemon pie or tart, choose a wine that is equally refreshing, like a Moscato. It's generally light in alcohol,
with just enough sugar to match our gently sweet dessert. Caposaldo Moscato ($12) has apricot and peach aromas that highlight the honey cream.
If you’re family really wants to have some fun, create a wine hunt, it’s very simple. Hide the bottles, find them, and drink them! Cheers and let the festivities begin!




My thoughts:

I received four great selection wines to try out and they were all very good.
I always thought more to be a Riesling gal but I have to say that the Moscato was my favorite out of all four. I love the sweetness of the wine and how it blended well with the dish I had with it. It's more of a dessert wine but fit well with dinner too.

They were all fantastic wines and I had a great time sharing with friends at dinner!


The Easter bunny showed up early to our house but you can have any or all of these fantastic wines to add to your Easter gathering as well! Whether you are heading out to family or having the egg hunt at your home, you are bound to find the right wine to add to the occasion!

My thoughts:

Portion control is a huge issue for me. I grew up with everyone telling me that if it's on my plate, I have to eat it. So that's what I've done. Portion control was never something I thought much of at least not when it comes to dividing my food.

I've been trying to lose weight and keep it off and have struggled with this off and on. So when I got the opportunity to try the portion control system, I was extremely excited!

The containers come one inside another for easy storage and are a bit hard to open. But I feel that is a good thing, one knows that the food inside will not spill or drip out of them!

The containers are pretty sturdy and dishwasher safe so you wont have to worry about them melting with the extreme heat.


The system comes with complete instructions of what food goes in what color container so that there is no confusion. I like the guide so that I know exactly what goes where. When I first used the system I really though that it wouldn't be enough food to fill me. But I was surprised at how much food actually goes into the containers and how full I felt after eating.

I have lost 10 pounds already by incorporating this portion control system with my walks! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is trying to focus on being healthier!

Ring Toss Game for Kids and Adults




#ringtossgame



Product Description

Best Ring Toss game for your money. The World's Best skill building game for Indoors and Outdoors play.
Skill building and great fun backyard, tailgate, camping, or P. E activities for ages 4 and UP. Set includes 5 Pegs and 5 Rope Quoits in Blue,Green,Red,yellow, and natural wood colors with score numbers on base for grading,learning,challenging or competitive play.
Helps improve Hand-eye coordination,color sorting,accuracy and gross movements. Pine wood constructed. Product size: 42 x 42 x 19.5 CM and Rope Quoits Diameter: 15 CM.

My thoughts:

This Ring Toss game is not only fun for the kids but adults as well. My family loves the outdoors and when the weather is nice, we spend a lot of time having barbecues and get togethers with friends. So having something to do is very important!

The ring Toss game came in several pieces but was super simple to put together. Most of the pieces are made of wood so they are durable and if taken care of properly, will last a long time. The rings are made of a thick rope so it wouldn't easily get torn apart. and each rope is color coordinated to the pegs so it makes the game a challenge when playing. You can't just toss the ring and hope it makes it on one of the pegs :) One has to work at getting the right peg!

Once your done with the game, there is a bag that all the pieces fit into so that you don't misplace the items. It's compact and doesn't take up a lot of space when storing it with your other outdoor items! This is perfect for those like me, who have a habit of losing game pieces. ; /

All in all I think this is a great product and such a fun game to play! It's not only something that can be enjoyed anywhere you want to go but it gets the family together for great memories! I would definitely recommend it!

Vita-C-Whip™ Whipped Vitamin C Serum / Lotion




#VitaCWhip


Product Description 

Our premium Vitamin C serum acts as a 3-in-1: serum + moisturizer + exfoliate and offers a potent splash of antioxidants (Vitamins A, C, E and Green Tea Extracts) as it hydrates, moisturizes, protects the skin, and encourages skin repair and healing.

Vita-C-Whip offers clinical grade potency, with the luxury of an expensive department store brand, just without all the added costs and expense of the extras that you don't need.  We use premium ingredients with no artificial fragrances.

Our product is a modern approach to the old fashioned Vitamin C serum by incorporating patented technology to our formula to maintain the potency and efficacy of high grade Vitamin C (Ester C) in a smooth and silky "whipped" base.  

Vita-C-Whip™ is excellent for sensitive skin, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, and great for all ethnicities.


My thoughts:

We are all looking for that perfect product that fits our skin and helps to reduce those fine lines and wrinkles we tend to get as we age. The Vita-C whip promises to not only moisturize but also help repair the skin.

So does it do as it says? For the most part yes! It has helped reduce some of the crows feet that I have around my eyes and has definitely been a great moisturizer!



The Vita-C Whip has a wonderful citrus scent and doesn't take long to absorb into the skin. It is recommended to keep away from eyes and the thin skin around the lips. There is good reason for this, it does tend to burn a bit because of the citrus.



The cream is a bit thicker than most but don't let that fool you. It absorbs fast and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and ready for the day! It also works well under makeup and doesn't blotch or discolor the skin in any way.

So if your looking for a great combination product that moisturizes and helps heal the skin then this is a great one to try! I have had good results and would recommend it!
