May 5, 1999

San Francisco - GourmetMarket.com, a leading Internet commerce site for premium food and wine products, announced that it has expanded its culinary offerings on Yahoo!(r) Shopping (http://shopping.yahoo.com). GourmetMarket.com now has nearly 500 food and wine products available on Yahoo!'s one-stop Internet shopping service. In the coming months, GourmetMarket.com will strive to more than double the selection of its gourmet food, wine and kitchenware products, while adding a brand-new kitchenware section with nearly 400 top-of- the line products.

GourmetMarket.com is featured in the Food & Drink category of Yahoo! Shopping, making its specialty culinary items conveniently available to the millions of consumers who visit Yahoo!. As GourmetMarket.com expands its own culinary offerings--adding specialty bread, meat and professional-quality kitchenware in the coming months--it will simultaneously increase its product offerings on Yahoo! Shopping to provide consumers with some of the most unique culinary products on the Internet.

"Yahoo! has a trusted brand among online users and is one of the real innovators of e-commerce," said Andrew Friedland, vice president, business development at GourmetMarket.com. "We believe our relationship with Yahoo! will prove fruitful for consumers as both companies are strongly committed to providing shoppers with extraordinary online shopping experiences. Additionally, I anticipate that this relationship will continue to expand GourmetMarket.com's online presence by reaching a large audience of potential buyers."

Consumers using Yahoo! Shopping can choose from GourmetMarket.com's wide array of hand-selected specialty food products. The smorgasbord of available products ranges from GourmetMarket.com's wine clubs to premium Belgian chocolates to Icelandic caviar to fine cheeses.

As an online merchant whose products are included in Yahoo! Shopping, GourmetMarket.com joins more than 4,000 online stores, including Cambridge Soundworks, Crabtree & Evelyn, Digital Chef, Egghead.com, FAO Schwarz, Fragrance Counter, Greatfood.com, Kennedy Space Center's Space Shop, Lifetime Television, Miramax Films Online Store, Roadrunner Sports, Rolling Stone, Shoe Pavillion, Smith & Hawken, SF MOMA, The Company Store, Vermont Teddy Bear Company, Yahoo!
