The eco-friendly Wine Totes are available in three colors and two styles, giving wine connoisseurs a practical way to insulate their favorite wines.

TODCO™ Roasted Garlic Express
Beside the three new introductions, the company will be showing four patented electric TODCO™ Roasted Garlic Express.

Information on garlic’s health and fitness benefits will also be available at the booth along with a recipe book with several recipes for cooking garlic. The garlic roasters are available in a white gloss finish, a terra cotta matte finish, a black semi-gloss finish and a stainless steel version.

The units can also be used in professional environments such as restaurants and culinary schools. Suggested retail cost varies from $34.99 to $59.99. Also being introduced is a new 12-piece floor display.
