I am about to start gushing about a grocery store. Friends of mine that live in Phoenix had told me great things about Fresh & Easy. However, I don't usually make a practice of stopping at grocery stores while visiting Phx. What brought me to making a stop this time was a fantastic wine that my friend KD introduced me to. This sparkling red wine from F & E was so enjoyable that I made the stop on my way back to T-town.
I walked in the door of this groovy little market and I will have to say it was love at first glance. I was walking down the produce aisle and it was a beautiful sight! I really thought I was only going to buy the wine and be on my way, but thats not quite the reality of the story. I started pondering what I could bring back to Tucson that would stay fresh sans a cooler. That meant I could not purchase the chipotle ranch dressing that looked super yum. I picked up some produce because their tomatoes were too beautiful to not purchase. Stopped at the sample table and met Mary, who had raspberries with crème fraiche and they were lovely! I did some purchasing of trail mix (great selection), cereal bars, veggies and wine. Their wine selection was super fun to discover. I bought two bottles for a grand total of $11. That is pretty darn phenomenal! I left Fresh & Easy blissed out and will come prepared with a cooler on my next jaunt to Phoenix.
