Kowalski's At Home Magazine
SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2025
As lake and cabin season comes to a close and school buses hit the roads once again, many of us find ourselves spending more time at home than we have in months. It's actually pretty nice. Home is where the heart is, and our heart surely belongs to Minnesota. Our perennial fall issue of At Home is devoted to shining a spotlight on Minnesota products and local producers who bring us everything from pork and onions to honey and hot sauce.
Make yourself a truly exceptional cocktail at home this fall with two exclusives from Kowalski's Wine & Spirits. The first comes from our close friend and partner, master winemaker Pete Seghesio. We've added the cream of the crop from his San Lorenzo wine catalog, now available on our shelves for the very first time. The Pearl comes from the oldest vines on Pete's family property, planted near the Russian River in Sonoma County, just north of Healdsburg. These vines are so old that they're mentioned in an 1896 deed still framed in the Seghesio home. The Pearl is a truly special red blend, primarily Zinfandel, that remains one of Wine Spectator's highest-rated Zin blends of all time.
Joining The Pearl this October is a limited-edition bourbon from J. Rieger & Co., which spent its final months aging in Seghesio's The Pearl barrels. The result is a truly distinctive bourbon that whiskey lovers won't want to miss. Read more about this story on page 14. On that page, you'll also find Culinary & Branding Director Rachael Perron's new recipe for the Continental Sour, an age-old cocktail that, quite fittingly, marries bourbon and red wine.
Rachael also created the recipe for our Signature Cosmopolitans on the facing page. These punchy, bright bevvies are made with one of our newest Kowalski's branded products from our new line of clean craft cocktail and mocktail mixers. They're locally made just for us by the women-owned brand Mixly Cocktail Co., whose team worked hand in hand with ours until each exclusive recipe was simply perfect. A list of all the enticing flavors they created is on the right.
Mixly sells products under their own label in our Beverage Aisle, too. They're just one of many, many amazing local partners we added to our shelves last year. Accordingly, we have an extra page devoted to the center of the store in this issue. As much as it's a season of fresh finds from local farms and farmers, there's always something new from your neighbors in the Grocery, Dairy and Frozen Departments. Turn to page 10 to start your Hometown Heroes shopping list!
While you have pen and paper handy, make note of the date of our annual celebration of local and Minnesota Grown on Saturday, September 13. The party kicks off at 11 a.m. in all our markets but only lasts until 3 p.m., so don't miss the fun! It's a great chance to check out all the freshest local and seasonal stuff in the stores. Taste your way through the aisles and through every department. We love celebrating local with you!
See you in the stores!

Cooking with Kowalski's Recipe Booklet
SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2025
Family recipes have been a part of the Kowalski's customer experience and a key point of difference for our brand since the very beginning. Recipes for some of our all-time best-selling and most beloved foods originated in the kitchens of the Kowalskis or those of our families and employees. From Grandma Betty's Famous Chip Dip to Mary Anne's Family Favorite Buttercream Icing, we've been sharing our best with you from day one. As these “Family Favorite” recipes became popular in every department throughout our markets, customers began to ask for them, stopping in, calling or emailing, often to get a second or third copy of a favorite Kowalski's recipe card that they'd held on to for years and misplaced. Like a good neighbor, we've always been happy to share our best recipes.
Pick up a complimentary recipe booklet at the information kiosk in your local Kowalski's or browse through the digital version online.
As always, you can search our entire recipe collection at kowalskis.com/recipes at any time of day or night from your desktop or mobile device. With over 2,000 recipes to choose from, our website is a great place to find the perfect recipe for any meal or occasion.
