West Seattle Thriftway at California Avenue SW and Fauntleroy Way SW turned its annual Holiday Taste into a full-store sampling event, with coffee, kombucha, seafood, wine, tea, cider, cheese, fruit, nuts, chocolate, sourdough and noodles spread through the aisles.

The event also highlighted the store's own holiday menu, including turkey, beef rib roast, two kinds of stuffing, two types of cheese balls and smoked salmon dip.

A shopper discount was part of the event as well, adding a holiday-sales push to the tasting as customers sized up meal plans and celebration food.

The tasting was scheduled to run until 7 p.m., offering an early look at what the store is putting forward for holiday gatherings.
