Sea-salt caramel-lovers alert! Häagen-Dazs offers the newest flavor in its "Reserve" series: Fleur de Sel Caramel. Fleur de sel (or "flower of the salt," a delicate salt harvested by hand on the coast of Brittany) caramels are wrapped in chocolate and blended with caramel ice cream with caramel ribbons. Buy two; this will not last in your freezer.Häagen-Dazs Reserve Fleur de Sel Caramel Ice Cream, $4.99 at Genuardi's in Cherry Hill and other select groceries.

Captain Kashi
Kashi's new Honey Sunshine cereal is baked into puffy squares that look like Captain Crunch but taste more like Kix. A mix of whole grains tossed with a touch of wildflower honey, it measures a hearty 6 grams of fiber and only 6 grams of sugar per 3/4-cup serving, making it a tasty choice for the whole family.Kashi's Honey Sunshine cereal, $3.99 at major supermarkets.

Crossing into Philadelphia
One of Pennsylvania's best wineries, Crossing Vineyards, has gained a foothold in Philadelphia at the Marketplace at East Falls. It's the first retail outlet for the five-year-old winery beyond its Washington Crossing vineyard, and an opportunity to convince a wider audience that good local wine is a possibility.The up-and-coming winemaker has already gotten deserved national attention for whites such as its chardonnay, viognier and late-harvest vidal. The 2006 cabernet franc ($21), though, was the first Crossing red to impress me, too, its earthy, bell pepper nose backed by rich, balanced, almost chocolatey fruit. This location will also be hosting a series of wine education events starting in the fall.
Crossing Vineyards at the Marketplace at East Falls, 3747 Ridge Avenue, 215-225-6600 or www.crossingvineyards.com
