Here's the rest of my TJ's mango mania haul:
The mango & ginger crisps ( like the original raisin & rosemary crisps and the various other cranberry, pumpkin, whatever varieties) are lovely with bit of goat cheese.
The frozen mango chunks are usually in my freezer for smoothies or adding to yogurt. Nothing new there but they're mango so they got to be in the picture.
Next is a mango-tangerine candle. I don't light candles all that often (I fear the spectre of flaming cat tail torches 
but it smelled nice and was only $3.99 so I picked one up.
As mentioned in my post above, I doctored the mango-pineapple salsa with some freshly chopped cilantro and jalapeño and served it with the shrimp nuggets. I think it would be nice with chicken or fish. I got a little piece of mango that was disappointingly mealy but I didn't really eat enough to know if that's common or not. Edited to add: I've now had more of the Island Salsa and more disappointingly mealy pieces of mango. Too bad, as the flavor is OK. I don't recommend it. The TJ's website mentions some frozen mango salsa but I didn't see it....possibly because I was trying not to see the shrimp nuggets.
The sweet & spicy mango vinaigrette is OK, but nothing too special, in my opinion. If I want a mango-themed salad, I'd just as soon throw in some mango chunks and use a lime-ginger or other citrus vinaigrette. The mango doesn't add a lot here.
Not shown, but sort of mango-related, I bought some chia seeds to try these Mango Coconut Chia Frozen Pops from the TJ's website.
Completely unrelated to mango, I noticed TJ's has 2 pinot noir rosé wines under their VINTJS label this year. There's the Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir Rosé ($7.99) they have sold for the last few years, with the 2015 vintage back in stock and a Monterey Pinot Noir Rosé ($6.99) that I haven't seen before.
The Arroyo Grande Valley Rosé was my house rosé last year and makes a lovely methode rotuts so I was happy to see it again and tasted it alongside the Monterey wine. Both have a lot of berry flavors and enough acidity to balance the fruit. In the Monterey wine, strawberry flavors predominated, both fresh and a jammy, cooked-strawberry note with a tart citrus/apple finish. In the Arroyo Grande Valley wine, I taste fresh berries, with the raspberry flavor out in front. I find the finish a little less acidic than the Monterey but balanced with a tiny bit of tannin. I could be letting the brighter pink color of the Arroyo Grande Valley wine influence my taste buds with respect to the tannins but I think the difference is real.
Bottom line: Both are nice. I think the Arroyo Grande Valley will be my house rosé once again but maybe I'll pick up another bottle of the Monterey so I can do a methode rotuts comparison as well.
