Good point. I had the pleasure (and I do mean pleasure) of walking
into a Penzey's shop they opened in west Tennessee. Prior to that I
only had the catalog and a few online purchases to give me a clue.

The store smelled absolutely wonderful! I bought a lot of stuff that
day. Went back to class (I was taking classes to renew my insurance
license) after lunch with a bag full of herbs and spices. The people
sitting around me were asking what smells so good? It's not me, it's
Penzey's! LOL
