Flash in the Pan

At a riverside festival in western Massachusetts last weekend, I had a chance to try samples of a number of products that were new to me. Over the next week or so I'll mention more of them, but let's start with Myron's 20 Gauge Sauce from Myron's Fine Foods of Millers Falls, Mass. Here's a combination of ingredient list and description from the company's site:

Low sodium, naturally brewed soy sauce (water, soy beans, wheat, salt), red wine, natural brown sugars, fresh garlic, olive oil, rice vinegar, juniper berry and Myron's distinctive blend of unique spices. It has a deep and slightly malty flavor base, a piquant/sweet, pungent and peppery bite and subtle "evergreen" (juniper) flavor points.

It's supposed to be for wild game and fish, but I tried some chicken that had marinated in the sauce before grilling. The description is close enough, though far more subtle than I would have expected from something intended for game, and pleasant. The company's site indicates distributors carrying the products, though not retail outlets. However, you could ask a local spot to place an order, or you can purchase a 2-pack of 16-ounce bottles for $24.45, including handling and continental US shipping via UPS ground.
