There's an olive oil in the store. In addition to that, our guests can expect to find gourmet tapenads, olives, different dressings, spreads. Definitely when they first walk in, they're going to be greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic staff that's also educated about all of our products. The impression that we get from our guests is that when they first walk into the store, they'really impressed by the way the store looks and feels. It's really that sort of sensory experience of coming in and realizing that this is a special place that they want to spend some time. We find a team that can work with our guests and educate our guests about the great products that we have. Much like our olive oil, we specialize in very small case production wines, so artist and premi It allows for us to find wines that our guests would not otherwise be able to find at their local big box store or supermarket. In some cases, we're bringing in wines that we want to get a case or two of, that the winery only produced 100 cases of. Those are very special, artist and handmade products that really fit with what we do in general. Another unique aspect of the wine program is that we offer all of the wines by the taste, by the half glass, and by the glass. That gives guests the opportunity to really customize wine tastings based on our staff's recommendations, based on their preferences with wine, and that's a great way for them to be able to find that special wine. With both the retail olive oil and gourmet foods and also with the wine bar, the nice thing about being able to taste, obviously, before you purchase is that you have that assurance. On the wine bar side, as we're offering folks flights, we also offer those bottles for retail purchase. So every day we have guests that will find a really special wine. Just yesterday we had a couple that came in, enjoyed some tapas, a really nice wine flight, and decided to purchase three cases of wine. It speaks to the connection between the tasting program and then the purchasing power in the retail. That's great because they found wines that they will not find anyplace else.
