Let’s spice up the season for families in need and make this holiday one to remember! Thank you for joining me in bringing a little extra flavor and love to our community. ❤️

Welcome to the Enoteca (quality wine shop) at For the Love of Spice. We are excited to bring our dream of opening an Enoteca to the waterfront in Gig Harbor.

We have explored wine bars worldwide for the past ten years, examining different concepts and commonalities. Through our adventures, we found that these local meeting spaces offer the community a place to gather and socialize in a relaxed and friendly environment.

We primarily focus on imported wines, with some hand-selected varieties from Washington, Oregon, and California.

We are not a tasting room but a wine bar offering wine by the glass or bottle. If you enjoy our wine, you can purchase a bottle to take home and enjoy later.

To further enhance your experience, we offer a limited menu with small bites that complement the wine, allowing you to sample some of our products in our store.

Coming soon: mocktails, beer, cider, and wine slushies! As we approach the holiday season and cooler weather, warm mulled wine with our handcrafted mulling spices and hot apple cider will be available.

Our store hours will change from 10:00 am-5:00 pm Monday through Saturday to 10:00 am-7:00 pm Sunday and from 12:00 pm-4:00 pm to 12:00 pm-6:00 pm, with the Enoteca opening at noon. Of course, we will adjust our schedule if we need extended hours.

We can’t wait to see you!

The island of Paros is a dreamy combination of bustling towns and laid back villages. If you feel like shopping, eating and enjoying an active night life Nausea is the place to go. Endless restaurants and shopping with small hidden bars sprinkled in-between.

I recommend renting a car. We paid around $200.00 for a six day rental with the ability to pick up right at the ferry and drop off at the airport. It couldn't be more convenient. Take a leisurely drive around the island and enjoy the tranquility of Paros, Greece.

Panificio Santa Rita in Bari is the place to go for focaccia. There is always a long line with wait times around 40 minutes. You have to get a ticket from the man in the doorway and stand patiently in the long queue. No worries here! We made friends with a lovely couple from Milan and chatted about travel and life. Once we were granted entry we enjoyed watching the numerous transactions taking place while listening to all the chatter. We ordered two slices of this prized bread. As we were leaving I stopped at the door held my bag filled with warm fluffy focaccia and yelled yay!The crowd of onlookers broke out in cheers, laughter and applause. Sometimes you just have to have a little fun 😀. If you are lucky enough to find yourself in Bari, I highly recommend trying a slice of the traditional focaccia which is topped with cherry tomatoes and olives.

The world is full of beautiful flavors. Through our travels, I have enjoyed tasting many types of cuisine. This has always inspired my culinary journey, allowing me to recreate a favorite seaside meal or street food in a local market. Spices are an internal ingredient in every culture, and we carry a large selection. Stop by and explore our handmade spice blends, or choose to recreate your special meal with our large selection of bulk spices.

Summer heat brings in a bushel of fresh basil. We have so much growing in our garden that it's hard to keep up. One option is to make a batch of pesto. It's yummy! It's simple and delicious, and you can freeze the leftovers. Yay! Here's a quick recipe to make at home.

2 cups fresh basil leaves removed from stems
1/4 cup pine nuts
One small clove of fresh garlic
1/2 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil (We've got the good stuff if you need it)
a pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Add all ingredients except the parmesan cheese to a food processor or blender. Pulse until all ingredients are fully combined and smooth. Remove from the processor with a rubber spatula into a small bowl and stir in the fresh cheese. Easy peasy, right? Remember Pesto is not a sauce, but a dressing, it is not intended to be heated as this will cause the cheese to clump and the the dressing will separate. Toss freshly cooked pasta with pesto in a large bowl along with a ladle of pasta water to make a delicious meal. We love adding a little pesto to our cooked salmon along with a nice green salad. Enjoy!
