Thank you to ALDI for sponsoring this post!

Hey mates! On Sunday night time, I had the satisfaction of attending a specific meal: a multi-course feast with fellow bloggers at regional DC fave Mintwood Put, hosted by and featuring foodstuff and wine from ALDI!

Have you fellas heard of ALDI just before? It’s a grocery retail store that thinks that you should not have to expend a large amount of revenue to delight in good quality foodstuff. I was initially launched to ALDI at Web site Brulee, the RD blogger workshop I have spoken at previously they were being the wine sponsor for the function one of the yrs and we were being all so amazed with how scrumptious and reasonably priced their wine was! (They have a really superior Prosecco – the Grandi Mori Valdobbbiadene Prosecco – that is only $8.99, and I’m also a enthusiast of their $four.99 (!) Sayanca Malbec!)

I have also been amazed with how reasonably priced their organic foodstuff is. We requested them on Sunday night time how they keep their price ranges so reduced as opposed to other merchants, particularly for organic foodstuff, and they stated it’s mainly because they have pretty reduced functions expenses as opposed to other grocery suppliers. Essentially, you bag your possess foodstuff (and carry your possess reusable baggage), get and return your possess cart (they make sure you carry it again by requiring a quarter deposit to consider the cart – you get it again when you depart), and so on. – so you are just having to pay for the foodstuff/wine, not for a ton of related expert services. Attention-grabbing!

Their merchants are also 90% unique non-public label ALDI brands, which assists conserve their purchasers revenue. I particularly really like their SimplyNature line, which capabilities many organic products, as perfectly as foodstuff free of charge of synthetic hues, flavors and needless enhancers. SimplyNature goods range from pantry staples, these as cereal, honey, fruit bars and pasta sauce, to clean products like bread, milk, kale, salad mixes and yogurt. They also have a full liveGfree line, which provides gluten-free of charge products ranging from snacks to granola bars, baking mixes, bread, pastas, and much more. I like their liveGfree Sea Salt Multiseed Crackers!

It was enjoyable sampling much more of their clean foodstuff at meal on Sunday each course we had was built working with ALDI substances! We begun with some appetizers, a wine and cheese course, and then moved into a multi-course meal feast. We definitely did not go property hungry, that is for sure!

Alternatively than sharing pictures of all the things we ate, I imagined I’d share a number of of my preferred ALDI products that were being showcased all through the evening. Enjoy!

1) Specifically Picked Aged Reserved White Cheddar.

We begun the evening with a wine and cheese pairing, and this white cheddar was PHENOMENAL. Only $2.49, also, which is a great offer.

2) Happy Farms Most popular Goat Cheese

Yep, #1 and #2 are both of those cheeses. You fellas know I really like my cheese! This goat cheese, on the remaining on the cheese board underneath, was only $1.99 and sooooo scrumptious – really creamy! It went perfectly with the sweet Riesling.

How gorgeous are these pickled deviled eggs that we relished as an appetizer?! The pink shade comes from beets!
