Food Saver vs. Seal-A-Meal? [Moved from Home Cooking]
One word of warning - don't vacuum store mushrooms or garlic -- they become dangerous when air is removed from them and should not be eaten.
Mushrooms need special attention to their preservation. Before attempting to vacuum seal mushrooms they should either be marinated in a sauce or fully frozen
Here is a good reference site regarding what/how to vacuum seal:

I'm no expert, just ran across the mushroom warning while searching for info and thought I'd pass it along.

Trader Joe's Wine Recs?
I, too, just recently found Blue Fin at TJs. Enjoyed the Chard and the Petite Sirah... I bought a case of the Petite Sirah:) Especially nice at $3.99.
