Where can I buy Grapevine Trading Co. Sea Salt & Olive Oil Crackers?

Where can I buy Grapevine Trading Co. Sea Salt & Olive Oil Crackers? *Just* the crackers.

My dad got a gift basket featuring Grapevine Trading Co Sea Salt & Olive Oil Crackers (box photo). Googling reveals they're available only in baskets. The Grapevine Trading Co does not appear to offer the item on their site.

So my question is -- how do I get these for my wife in a way that does not require me to buy a basket I don't want, or require me to become a cracker wholesale buyer?

Second question -- has anyone had these and know of something similar? I see some other sea salt crackers but fear the texture will be wrong.

Ideas welcome. Thanks!

Best answer: I haven't had that particular cracker but there are a few alternatives on Amazon. Are the ones your wife likes thin and crispy like a water cracker or thicker and crunchier like these hors d'ouevre crackers? Or this more commercial option from Keebler?

Alternatively, Harry & David might have something similar.

Having also been on the receiving end of a gift basket with these, IIRC they are closer to the hors d'oevre crackers above.

Do you have a Whole Foods nearby? They have some fancy cracker options that might be in the right range.

Heh. Yes, Whole Foods is all about the fancy cracker options.

Response by poster: bgrebs, they're not super thick, but they're a bit thicker than a water cracker. The fact that Keebler makes the "flavor" is very promising! The Partners cracker box looks sort of close, we'll have to try them out.

Today I'll hit the specialty grocery store in town and see if there's anything close. Depending on what I find there I'll get the others via Amazon. Thanks so much for the research!

Also, I got a reply from the company! (yay!) and they say:

Thanks for your comments regarding the Olive Oil & Sea Salt Crackers. They were especially created for Holiday 2010 baskets and have not been available for retail purchase separately but we are exploring the possibility of offering them year round. I have recorded your contact information and I will get back to you in January to let you know the status and where you can purchase them. Thanks so much and have a joyous Holiday and Happy 2011.

Response by poster: bgrebs, the Partners Olive Oil & Sea Salt, Hors D'oeuvre Crackers, 4.9-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) was approved of by my wife. Not precisely the same, but a good facsimile! Thanks!
