At 109 Cheese & Wine in Kent and Ridgefield, we’re not just about cheese and wine… we make some pretty great sandwiches and grilled cheese too. In Ridgefield, it’s grab-and-go until they’re gone — and then we keep it going, making them fresh to order all day. Up in Kent, you can settle in a […]

Bandit’s Corner Assistant Cheesemonger 109 Cheese & Wine Hi friends, Bandit Monkey Brown here. This week, I’m keeping things simple. I’ve been spending some quiet time lately… watching the light come in, listening to the house, keeping an eye on the yard (very important work). And it got me thinking about something I’ve been learning […]

WKNDDRVR lives inside 109 Cheese & Wine in Kent, but it’s really about what happens before you get here. It’s about the drive. The kind where you don’t rush. Where the road matters as much as the destination. Where you roll the windows down, take the long way, and let your mind settle into the […]

Hi everyone, Bandit Monkey Brown here. I’ve officially been living with Todd and Monica for about a month now, and from what I understand I had some very big paws to fill. A lot of you knew and loved Otis, and I hear he was a pretty legendary guy. I’m doing my best. So far […]

We really do love cheese and wine — not just as products on our shelves, but as a way of living. They’ve shaped our days, our table, and the life we’ve built together. We cook side by side, share meals as a family, and hold deep respect for the winemakers, cheesemakers, and charcuterie artisans whose […]
