Recently I spent three weeks on an all organic diet. This sent me on a search for a Hot Sauce that would meet my dietitian’s approval. Enter: The Wizard.
Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Filtered Water, Cayenne Pepper, Agave Syrup, Salt, Umeboshi Vinegar, Red Miso, Ginger Puree, Garlic, Coriander, Cumin, Xanthan Gum, Cayenne Extract.
A food can only be certified organic by the USDA if it is produced “without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers or sewage sludge and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives”ย. I hoped this sauce would make my time in organic land more pleasant.
Bouquet (smell): Open the bottle and you get a whiff of equal parts vinegar and cayenne.
Texture: Ultra thin and watery, doesn’t stick to plate, food or side of bottle. I put a healthy dose on an organic Tempe sandwich but, most of it ran off the food and made a puddle on the plate.
Taste: If you want to experience this sauce without buying it, just soak your food in apple cider vinegar and salt. I didn’t taste garlic, miso, ginger, or even a hint of pepper. I did however taste vinegar, and loads of it. No heat is detected whatsoever. It all but ruined a perfectly good sandwich.
Medal Round (Ratings)
Package: Silver (I dig wizards)
Heat: Did Not Medal

Overall Score: Does Not Medal

Wizards rule! ๐
If I would have seen this in a store, I probably would have bought it and been just as disappointed as you were. Just by looking at the ingredients, you would think this sauce would have a more substantial texture (“ginger puree”) and layers of flavor. But what’s up with the “Wheat-Free” banner at the top? I understand how important that could be to someone with a wheat allergy, but in this context, isn’t “Wheat-Free” pretty much a given? How many hot sauces have wheat ingredients, really? Isn’t that sort of like saying it’s “Non-carbonated”?
[Comment ID #106696 Quote]
Ha, I thought it said “heat-free.” I work with someone who claims to have a wheat allergy. More specifically, he can’t consume any gluten whatsoever. So this may be a way of assuring those folks that there is no gluten (even though gluten can come from more than just wheat, I think). I’m far from an expert, so this is just a guess…
How is this product ‘USDA Organic’ when none of the ingredients are proceeded by the word ‘organic’?!? Unless you left that out on purpose… -Lars-
[Comment ID #106700 Quote]
Each ingredient has an asterisk which denotes and organic ingredient, I didn’t think it was vital. ๐
[Comment ID #106699 Quote]
“Claims” to be allergic? I think it’s safe to trust.
[Comment ID #106704 Quote]
Well, he’s a bit of a hypochondriac. I never know when his medical issue du jour is real.
I’m off this blog site but I have to say this…..Newman he made an effort to bottle a sauce which takes money…as you now I’m a Master Chef… he is real proud of his sauce……..you really did not have to cut him to ribbons…you could of gave him some credit…..somewhere…just a small ammount….that is a big slap in the face…I’m goining to order a few bottles of wizard”s…to cook with it…to see what comes up…..ever think of trying it as a maranade???
Now you know why i don’t post any more
[Comment ID #106730 Quote]
If your not going to post then don’t post… You wrote everyone cryin and nobody cared, you have only one person to blame and thats yourself…. Get over yourself…. The only Master you are is Fraud…..
Maybe you could write reviews for the wizard.
Newman nice review, good, honest and fair….. Something Wes knows nothing about… It’s sad that he has to read books on how to win friends…
By the way when you putting up your auction real cheap…. Oops probably another lie….. Please don’t send the MOB after me Wes….lol
[Comment ID #106730 Quote]
I see your point. And my wife (who isn’t a Hot Sauce Fatatic, but is a staunch vegetarian/ healthy eater) did ask me to keep the bottle in the cupboard for her to use. I didn’t mean to come off harsh.
As for the money he spent on is sauce, they spent $229 million making WaterWorld. Does Gene Shalit need to take that under consideration when reviewing it? He (assuming the wizard exists and isn’t a huge company) put his product out there and I reviewed it honestly.
WES you and I have always been cool with each other, I appreciate the comment – and I hope you’ll come back to the site, it’s really fun in here.
[Comment ID #106730 Quote]
Wes, I think Newman just reviewed the sauce. i don’t think he bottled it. Maybe I missed something. Seems to me the comments support the review. nothing makes sense in your comment.
Newman, good review. I still don’t fully understand the rating thing. Medals denote competition. I’m still confused as to what the sauce is competing against to earn a “medal”. It’s not a huge issue really as the review is very well stated and informative. Very good pictures also. Thanks Newman.
[Comment ID #106730 Quote]
If that’s the way he feels, then I see absolutely no issue with the review (And I still like the medal rating….Maybe no rating… I just done like the whole 1-10 thing, but I digress). Above all their must be honesty and integrity with these reviews.
I’d love to see a panel of reviewers review the same sauce at the same time. I’ve seen this done elsewhere and it was probably the best review I have ever read. No scores… just honest opinions.
That’s my 2 cents…. got to go.

I appreciate the review bro! Looking at the list of ingredients, I would have suspected it was water thin despite the gum. That just confirms it for me & saves me the money ๐

“Does Not Medal”
Hmmm, does that mean its its 4th place, or 100th? I know, just that it really didnt make “the cut”. Its nice to know though, at least its a different bottle for the shelf. Glad for the review Newman. I have a bottle of “Wizard’s” sauce stashed away in the “boxed up” collection from years ago. I remember the label, but have never tried it. Like more then 50% of the bottles I have.

I have had whale and it doesn’t taste at all like chicken, more like a cross between scallops and salmon. Ever think that maybe chicken tastes like a lot of other things?
hey uncle sam,
i was kidding. i have no interest in consuming whale. i will stick to road kill.
Cool, I had the rare opportunity. A co-worker’s wife was full blooded Makah.

That made me spit out my drink. Too damn funny General. Should I scoop up some on my way to JJ’s from VA? I am sure to come across all varieties.
make? i dont make sauce. i am just one of the trouble makers here. LOL
i have been on here for bout a year. really fun times. met some great folk through here. one of these days i will be able to meet more. hopefully at Fiery Foods in NM in march. one thing to recommend, well 2… dont piss off Blane (:D) and you better have tuff skin, cause some of these remarks can be borderline personnal. and one more thing, comsume lots of hot sauce, it is cancer fighting. oh, and one more thing… Jim Campbell is the best, hands down.

see… told ya!
I have an exhibitors list current as of yesterday, but that only tells me who will be working there. Actually it doesn’t even tell that. As confirmed yesterday Mild and Wild will share space w/CaJohn. Anyone else sharing a booth? I didn’t even know that was an option.
I know about the JJ’s gig, but I’m in Seattle area why is every thing on the East coast?
[Comment ID #106828 Quote]
i believe Jim Campbell of Mild to Wild will be at blair’s booth selling all his goods. blair is unable to attend and Jim (the voice of reason) has offered to hold down his tent and all of the sales from blairs booth are being donated to charity. in case you didnt know.

most of the hot sauce makers are in the midwest and east coast. not many big guy or girls are out here.

ohio doesn’t touch the east coast. It’s like saying Montana is west coast. Well I will give in to the east part, but not coast. A hop skip and a jump from Seattle. Maybe if you took Amtrak you can save a few bucks. You might have to leave tomorrow though to get there in time.
i wouldnt call montana west coast, i would call it mountain west.

Hey Sam, Zestfest isn’t what it use to be. I live 10 minutes away from Zestfest and have not planned on going except to the parties and have already booked other shows for that weekend. We have more fun at NM, Austin, and Houston and of course now we have JJ’s in Ohio. I have high school craft shows that do better than Zestfest and its in my backyard. Trade days and advertising are nothing like the Fiery Foods. Haven’t seen or heard any advertising and it’s a little more than a month away. Just my opinion ๐
Thanks for the info Big Dawg, they still have you listed as an exhibor. I will look forward to meeting you. I guess we will chalk this one up to experience and plan to attend other shows next year.

but you can win those without signing up for a booth Uncle Big
Yeah, your right. We discussed the whole trip the other day. It will be a family vacation, and my two older boys love spicy food just as much as I do. My wife was excited about playing some poker while the boys watched their little bro, so I guess we will see what happens.

Sorry guys the replies are slow…working off a dial-up at the secluded lake cabin. Sam, don’t get me wrong you will have fun at the show with all the gang, we will be there for a lot of the festivities just not running a booth. The awards, depending on who you talk too, can be a very good investment. I will even turn in for a few this year, even more now that I’m saving the 900+ dollars for booth.
Jim, the fireman you speak of sent me an email, I will respond back to him in a little bit. So are you buying dinner when we come through Indiana thursday night. Shoot me an email on where ya’ll are staying next weekend.
Wow…We did good saving the money since THTs not going to be there!

hey UB, all you need to do is get the papperwork and send it in with the correct fees for each entry, your presence is not necesary but we’d all love to see you at one of these shows!!! And if you need a babysitter you know where to drop off the little one, THT’s booth is baby friendly!
Then scrtach my response as well…..but seriously just give us the baby and noone gets hurt! Just ask the emans!

From one Big To Another, I knew what you where trying to say UB!
[Comment ID #106882 Quote]
We won’t be at JJ’s and not sure about Zest Fest. New Mexico is a no brainer for us as we do very well there. Zest Fest just didnt bring in enough retail sales to be worth the expense of the trip for us. We’re thinking of going socially and forgoing the booth at ZF. Nothing is set in stone as of yet though. How about you guys?
[Comment ID #106880 Quote]
Next year, we WILL be attending shows.
I really wanted to do JJ’s this year, but baby on the way put the kibosh on that. I just want to SEE JJ’s, and the Weekend of Fire is a good of an excuse as any I think.
Believe me, even though I don’t drink any more, hanging with everyone at the shows would be stimulation enough I’m sure.
It’s a long way for us to travel for any of these shows, but next year we will be attending at least one in some capacity.
I’m sure the babysitting offer will be capitalized on, thanks for that by the way.
I still need to get in touch with you about product Krisit, and I will next week. I haven’t forgot about you.
Zestfest is the only one we have not planned on going too. We will go to all the parties and hang out, but no booth. Out of approx 35 shows we did last year, Zestfest was in the bottom 20% as far as retail.

Oh I know we can enter, we entered last year and Huv kicked our azz in our category, and deservedly so. Helluva sauce he’s got there.

I agree BD,
JJ’s looks like such a fun place just to visit and from what I’ve heard, it’s a well run establishment, even though they keep Bret on the payroll for some reason. Must be his good looks, killer charm and his ability to get people to pose in compromising positions for the camera.
Seriously, we’d love to meet everyone in person, well not everyone, but most.
Online personas and squabbles aside, everyone seems like they are great people and I’d like to see this community face to face, as scary as that will be for most of you.
The family will be in tow, no two ways about that. Only 5 or 6 weeks before the UB clan welcomes another member. Babies fly for free right?

Will do BD, yes, summer has brought in some great numbers and nice new accounts for us. Of course we’re hoping the growth continues well into those winter months as well. We’re all trying to squeeze in as much time with our families and make te most of our (very)short lived summer as well so life has been FULL to say the least!
Enjoy your vacation with the family!
It is our first vacation in 2 years…not that we don’t really enjoy the hot sauce way of life but it is nice to get away, well partially get away, we have a show in a small town in MN where the lake cabin is – called Turkey Days…lol. And then of course the truck is loaded for JJ’s but we are getting a break in between, and I am out of here to go watch the sunset with the misses…We will catch ya’ll later.

Kristi, do what I did last year and will be doing again this year, a fly-by. I’ll be landing Thursday, getting ripped up Thursday night with everyone, hang out on trade day for a little while, fly back mid-afternoon, get back around 11pm, go to sleep, wake up at 5:30, set up camp at the Fire Dept cookoff and cook about 200+ pounds of wings. It really helps increase your constitution. ๐
Best part is, I booked the flight months ago, and the round trip only cost about $200.

“First show and I have no idea what iรขโฌโขm doing.”
Not to worry, do what I do, just drink heavily.
[Comment ID #106977 Quote]
Dont sweat it Huv – its your 1st show, so no one has anything to compare it to. Whatever you do will be cool. ๐
If all else fails just sit the baby there lol no one can resist a baby
Oh, and take lots of pictures too. Bret is going through withdrawl, poor guy ๐
“But it has such a lovely glow at night.”
That kinda spoils the stealth mode of your insurgence, doesnt it Creator?

Not at all, it actually sppeds the assimilation process, it’s mesmerizes those who gaze upon it, and they will flock to Jungle Jim’s not unlike the mice following the Pied Piper.
[Comment ID #106991 Quote]
Don’t mention mice, some of these guys might bring their smoking kits with them.
I just got the official word, I got a friend to split the bill and the travel with me. I am so ready to try some new hot sauce.
Anyone who hasn’t tried Huv’s Mango Amore, this stuff is sooooo good on fruit, especially bananas. Never got a burn after finishing off a nana before. I can’t wait to get another bottle. ๐
[Comment ID #107039 Quote]
Thanks for the tip Buddah. Not sure I would have thought to try it on fruit. I’ll give it a try if I EVER GET A BOTTLE…………. HUV!!!!!lol
[Comment ID #107041 Quote]
By the way Kristi, I just gave my friend a bottle of Cry Baby and Defcon #2 for his birthday. We went to one of those Brazilian meat places and he enjoyed dunking the meat into your sauce. Ummm…that kinda didn’t come out right. He loved your hot sauce either way.
[Comment ID #106903 Quote]
Top 3 shows for me are…
Fiery Foods Show – NM
Pocono Garlic Festival – PA
Bowers Chile Pepper Festival- PA
Bowers and the Garlic Festival are NUTS! I get mobbed by people and sell a bunch of sauces and a lot of tee shirts! What makes Bowers crazy is that it’s in the middle of a bunch of corn fields, with really no signage right outside of Kutztown, PA. Thousands of chile-heads show up from it seems like nowhere! Was that proper english?!? lol If you’ve never worked there before and are on the east coast or wouldn’t mind traveling to Amish country PA for a fri- sat show (no sundays, sunday is a day of rest for Amish and Mennonites.)
[Comment ID #106885 Quote]
BD, you and Candy should stop by and say hello if you are swinging by JJ’s.
35 shows a year, eh?!? Mind sharing a few of those names with me? I’m looking for some other shows to hit either later this year or early next year before and after NM. You are based out of TX, right?!? So are most of these shows local to you, or do you guys really travel a good deal? Thanks! -Lars-
So wait?!? Have I read these comments correct?!?
DEFCON, THT, and Tahiti Joe will NOT be at JJ’s?!? I’m going to be surrounded by emtpy booths! ๐ -Lars-
Thanks buddah… JJ will be the official release of the FKS mango amore. And kristi- yours will be shipped tomorrow.
Btw I had it on fresh fruit with whipped cream – out of this world. Thatnks for the idea buddah.
[Comment ID #107204 Quote]
Is there something I don’t know? I’m not THAT easy to get rid of. ๐
We’ll be there, not to worry.
[Comment ID #107208 Quote]
oooooo whip cream, didn’t think of that. Nice. Will you have a little platter with some bananas and cool whip to sample? ๐
[Comment ID #107245 Quote]
Hmmmm another good idea!
[Comment ID #107246 Quote]
Okay who else needs an idea? NEXT!
[Comment ID #107243 Quote]
No way John, I wasn’t trying to get rid you you at all!
I surely hope that Tahiti Joe’s wife gets better. Health issues are no fun all around. It’s a shame that they couldn’t make it to the show.
Best of luck to both of them in dealing with any health issues… -Lars-
