Hurricane Ian is Coming!!

Hey everyone! Hurricane Ian appears to want to come for a visit and we’re here to host him, I guess. 😩 It's going to be a long-winded event (see what I did there?) and we all must be well-stocked and prepared!

Having a pre-hurricane party? Wanting some hurricane snacks? Wine and cheese to chill at the sofa while you wait for the guest of honor? We got you!! And we’re making it cheaper too by running a few sales today to get you ready for whatever comes our way!
1. Wine Selection: but 4 bottles and get a 5th FREE!
2. Cheese Case: buy 2 cheeses and get the 3rd FREE!
3. BOGO wall: buy 1 get 1 FREE! We just added some items to the wall.
Of course, FREE items will be the lower priced out of your bundle

In need of a board?

We WILL be making Two Person Cheese and Charcuterie boards throughout the day for you to grab and go, chill at your sofa while waiting for Ian, or to snack throughout the storm to tame that anxiety 🤣. We don’t judge here, and we highly recommend to pair it with wine to maximize the benefits. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you need a board, you can always call ahead and order by phone to make sure there’s one for you when you come in. We can make two person boards pretty quickly. Here's the shop number: 407-614-3784

Shop Closure

We will be open today (Tuesday) until 6pm (ish). Closed on Wednesday and Thursday, with hopes of being open on Friday. It's all up to the guest of honor. Please stay tuned to our social media channels for updates.

We hope to see you at the shop today; we truly need and appreciate your support.

And please be prepared, but above all... be safe!!
That’s all for now, folks!

Summery Wines and... we're going on a FOODIE ADVENTURE! Click here for an update from THE MODERN HOST!

NAC updated their address.

Come check out what we got just in time for the weekend!

We are excited to show you these new products and exciting restocks. Come on in to check them out, we think you’ll love them as much as we do.

The life-changing cheese in a jar is baaaack!!

This cheese changed my life!! It was THE cheese that piqued my interest in artisan-made cheeses. It's also one of the most loved by our customers and one of the most difficult to stock.

This Australian Farmstead Sheep and Goat Milk Cheese is marinated in a garlic infused oil with fresh thyme and black peppercorns. Made with less than day old milk, it has a refreshing citrus tang and soft, spreadable texture. You can use it in salads, roasted vegetables, soups, sandwiches, plain crackers or crusty bread. Serve with crisp white wine or bubbles. My beloved cheese won a Gold Medal in the 2019 International Cheese & Dairy Awards. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out! If you've tried it and been disappointed every time you come back and can't find it - now it's the time!! Run, don't walk.

Skirt Steak, Chicken and Ribs for your grilling enjoyment!

Our meats case is full and this week we're debuting some St. Louis Spare Ribs rubbed with our House-Made Carolina Style rub. Skirt steaks are back, and we have both Chimichurri and House-Blend. Mediterranean Chicken Breasts are also on the case. As always, we carry a limited amount of each, so as the saying goes... early bird gets the worm!

Exciting new products on our shelves!

Come check out some of our new nut selections from Bear Foods; the most delicious hand-cooked peanuts and pecans you'll find around. We love their back story, and if you know our family you'll know why! A portion of their proceeds go towards funding activities for young adults with and without disabilities to share their gifts, build friendships, and to serve others. They also provide opportunities to participate with Bear Food and grow their job experience! I mean... how awesome is that!!

Also, just in are Bella Maria Spanish Tortes. Made in Seville, Spain. Bella Maria tortes are handmade following an old-world recipe. They are oven baked in small batches to a perfect gold and have a crisp, light texture. Enjoy these tortas with your favorite cheese, paired with tea or coffee, or alongside your favorite ice cream!

Also new to our shelves are New Bridge Cheese Spreads! These are made with Grade A, 9-month aged, Wisconsin natural Cheddar and come in a variety of flavors. This week, we're stocking Spicy Beer, Jalapeno and Pepper Jack. Easy to serve and share, these spreads taste like natural cuts of cheese but have the advantage of being in a convenient, spreadable form. Come and get some!!

Weekend Hours
Friday and Saturday 10:00 am to 6:30 pm
Sunday, 11am to 4:00pm.
