The love for cheddar that this town has! We have quite the variety in the case and there’s sure to be something for everyone!

Barber’s 2 Year Cheddar - From England & is a wonderful intermediate cheddar. Tyrosine crystals are spread all throughout so you get a nice crunch in every bite.

Mountain Valley 3 Year Cheddar - This one comes from Goot Essa, an Amish creamery in Pennsylvania. A Raw milk cheddar that is ultra creamy on the palate but packs a punch in sharpness. Karyn’s favorite!

Hook’s 7 Year Cheddar - This Wisconsin cheddar has been a staple in our case for years! A little on the dry side because of its age & packs a rich, deep sharpness.

Quebec 7 Year Cheddar - This is our newest cheddar and boy is it bursting with flavor! Canadian cheddars can be known for a punchy bite & this one falls into that category. It’s already been flying out of the case!

Red Dragon - A Welsh Cheddar that is softer & crumbly in texture and studded with whole grain mustard seeds & ale. If you’re a mustard lover, this is the cheese for you.

Bellavitano Espresso - A cheddar style cheese from Wisconsin with espresso rubbed on the rind. You’ll get some of those tyrosine crystals in this one and a nice smoky tone from the espresso. A fun one to try if you’ve never had it!

Red Rock - A very unique cave aged cheddar from Wisconsin. This cheddar is one like no other, it has a natural bloomy rind and stunning streaks of blue throughout. It’s aged from 2 to 6 months & has a classic texture of a cheddar. A milder cheddar with a more savory earthy character. This one is a stunner on a cheese platter!

Garden Pepper Jack - Another delicious cheddar from Goot Essa, this one comes with a good bit of kick from the red chile bits throughout. Sometimes pepper Jack cheese is all heat and not much on the cheese flavor. This one is the opposite, you get all the rich and creamy cheddar notes with a sneaky spicy finish. So good!

Cotswold - A double Gloucester style from the UK, It’s softer in texture and packs a big flavor of chive & onion. Bright orange with green specks, another show stopper!

Huntsman - Another double Gloucester cheddar that is sandwiched with blue stilton. Yum!!

A little relief from the heat on Saturday, but still sticky. Give yourself a break, join us and our good friend Vincenzo of Impero Selections this Saturday, July 18, from 1100A-230P for a tasting of some delicious w**es to help deal with the mid-summer heat.

Our lineup:

Bailly Lapierre Brut Reserve Cremant - Nothing like bubbles to cool the mood. A thirst-quencher, an easy-drinking Crémant, clean with a lovely freshness.

La Carraia Orvieto - An Umbrian tradition made from the Grechetto grape. If you’re a fan of Pinot Gris or unoaked Chardonnay, you’ll find a friend with this perfect summer white.

Fazi Battaglia Verdicchio - Another terrific summer white. From the Marche region of Italy, this Verdicchio is redolent of orchard fruit with a tangy acidity and a mineral finish.

Bertolani Lambrusco Amibile- A fun little red to serve chilled. Classic Italian Lambrusco just a touch off-dry or “amibile.” Inky, frothy with notes of dark fruit. Perfect for BBQ, pizza, meals with a touch of spice, or just plain sippin’.

Saturday is looking to be a bit cooler, but humid. As such, Vincenzo will be holding court inside, beside our cheese case. We hope to see you in the shop! We thank all of you for your continued support.

We’re open normal hours for the holiday weekend! Come & see us! Friday: 10am-5pmSaturday: 10am-5pmSunday: 11am-4pm

Looks like the warm weather has finally settled in. Join us and our good friend Vincenzo of Impero Selections this Saturday, June 13, from 1100A- 230P for a tasting of some delicious w**es on what’s shaping up to be a gorgeous Saturday.

Our lineup:

Tutiac Cote Ocean Rosé - This easy drinking Merlot rosé from Bordeaux burst on our radar last year and it does not disappoint a year hence. A wonderful berry-centric profile with just the right amount of lip-smacking acidity.

Tinazzi Garda Bianco - From the shores of Lake Garda, Italy’s largest, comes this delightful unoaked Chardonnay blend. Light, fruity and perfect for our increasingly hot and humid temps.

Salvalai Pinot Noir - A couple lighter bodied reds to round out the lineup. First, this crisp, dry, yet very soft Pinot Noir, from Friuli in northwest Italy, will win a spot on your summertime rotation.

Rigoletto Chianti - Finally, this DOCG Chianti will knock your sandals off! 90% Sangiovese is rounded off with 10% Merlot and the result is a beautifully harmonious w**e bringing all the character Chianti-lovers will recognize with some soft, rounded tannins from the Merlot. Saturday is looking to be nice if not a bit warm. Let’s see if we can set Vincenzo up with a tent next to the shop. Otherwise, he will holding court inside, beside our cheese case.

We hope to see you in the shop! We thank all of you for your continued support.
