Wine |
Brought to you by two friends with 3 decades between them, making wine around the world. They sought to offer the best at home, where amazing quality is casual. After living and working in France, they felt inspired by the culture, where incredible wine isn't only poured for special occasions or perfectly plated pairings. It's an effortless, everyday thing, when you want to. Enjoyed unscripted, unplanned, when the mood strikes. Wine without rules. They started by reducing the fuel and resources it takes to produce and ship heavy bottles around. The fact that boxed wine stays fresh for up to 6 weeks after opening fits in perfectly with their quality of quantity lifestyle. |

Frozen Cookie Dough |
In April of 1994, Dan & I were married and #TeamCook was established. We had three daughters, Lindsey, Brittney and Cailin. Our life was like many young families, consumed with dance classes, girl scouts and sports. We loved being an all girl family and Dan adored his girls. We faced many challenges over the years but faith has always been the foundation of our family. Facing life's challenges can weaken a family or make it stronger. For us, each challenge we faced individually or as a family, we chose to face it together. Dan started referring to us as “Team Cook” when the girls were young. We had no idea at the time, but the nickname “Team Cook” would represent more than just a cute name. Laughter has been an integral part of our home. Many times, it was the silliness of Dan that had our family crying tears from laughing so hard. In November of 2021, Dan passed away unexpectedly. Lindsey, Brittney, Cailin, Clayton (Lindsey’s Husband) and myself were by his side as he took his last breath. Throughout his time in the hospital, we leaned into our faith and the support of our friends, family and community. The pain of his loss has been devastating. In our own ways, each of us has tried to make sense of losing him. Dan was a big personality and was loved by so many people. He was the life of the party, and made each day fun. Dan has been gone now for almost three years and we want to make him proud. He was our biggest supporter, cheerleader, and always had big dreams. Although he is not here with us, we still have a lot to accomplish. It is in his memory and for him, that we make him proud. He loved when I would bake and he had many favorite things but my cookies topped the list of his favorites. He always told me I needed to do something with my baked goods but the time just never seemed right...until now. We love and miss Dan everyday. The girls and I had a choice to make when we lost him: We could let the grief smother us or we could lean into it and try to create something together; in his honor. We chose option B! When |

Inhale BBQ
 |
Snacks |
In 2010, five friends who shared a love of the pit, big flavors, cold beers and backyard hangouts formed a BBQ competition team. Although our time on the circuit was short and our winnings were scarce, it ignited a passion for the pit we could've never imagined. It also confirmed to us that BBQ is so much more than the food. It's the experience of bonding with family, making new friends and reminiscing with old friends. For us, it's life. One Saturday, while out on the golf course with the team, an idea struck -- pair the perfect snack with real backyard BBQ. From there, the first batch of raw seeds was purchased and the pit was fired. The plan was simple: start with big quality seeds, pair them with unique rubs and slow smoke them to bring authentic BBQ to every day of the week -- to your commute, your couch, your office and everywhere else the day takes you. Once the first batch of Spicy BBQ was complete, we knew we had something special and Inhale BBQ was born. From that first day, we have worked to create new and unique flavors. Our pit smoked seeds are cooked low and slow over a combination of apple, cherry, peach, pecan and hickory woods. Whether you like spicy, sweet or something in between, once you open a bag of Inhale BBQ seeds, you'll smell the authenticity. We'll always be thankful for that spark on the 6th tee box at Skylinks Golf Course and think your taste buds will be too! |
