[CH] hot sauce query

Hi there, I'm back from my trip to the US. Unfortunately, I didn't have as 
much time as expected to check out hot restaurants.

Anyway, 2 visits at Calido Chile Traders' in the Mall of America were 
thrilling enough. As I wrote before my trip, hot sauces is something you will 
hardly get here in Germany at all, so when returning I was packed with all 
kinds of small bottles.

Since hot sauces were almost completely out of reach for me so far, I didn't 
spend much attention to related threads on this list, so if my questions are 
nothing but boring maybe someone can point me to a website with more info, 
especially about descriptions, ratings, comparisons of different sauces.

I'm a chipotle fan and one thing on my list was Bufalo Chipotle. The guy in 
the shop said they probably didn't have it, but a few minutes later I 
discovered he was wrong. Another name that sounded familiar was Jump up and 
Kiss Me, I got me both the 'regular' and the Chipotle sauce. Especially the 
latter on is extremely good, most likely the best sauce I ever tasted (not 
that this would mean very much tho...).

Anyway, the problem for me right now is to find a way to get more of this 
stuff. A while ago I ordered a few catalogs of US mailorder companies, but 
none of them would ship overseas.

Does any of you enlightened Chile freaks know about a way to get hot sauces 
to Germany? A mailorder company in Europe would be fine, because I assume p&p 
would be outragous when shipping from the US to Germany.

I'm craving...

Wolfgang.
