favorites from Penzey's Spices?

Options
A Penzey's Spices store just opened in my town. I've heard such great things about their stuff--does anyone have any favorite spice blends or recommendations they'd like to share? I have a feeling I won't know where to start. Thanks!

    OMG...replace everything you own with their stuff!! Serioulsy.

    Some of my favs that are unique blends though are the California Seasoned Pepper, their taco and chili seasonings and chip dip mix.

    The quality of their products cannot be beat. Replace everything you own, you will not be sorry. People think I'm an awesome cook, but really it's the spices that make the flavors just pop. I had to buy a different rosemary one day in a pinch, boy what a difference.

    Vietnamese cinnamon. No comparison to the store brands. Trust me on this one.

    Everything they have is the best! I am from Wisconsin originally and we had a store 20 mins in every direction from where I lived. I miss it now that I'm in Indy we only have one.

    One of my favorites is a Cheese sprinkle. But the stores just rock, you can smell everything before you buy it. The chicken taco seasoning is great too so much less sodium than packaged.
