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 […]

A recent EatingWell article explored what the “healthiest” cheese for everyday eating might be, and the takeaway was refreshingly simple — cheese absolutely can be part of a balanced lifestyle when enjoyed thoughtfully. Dietitians highlighted that cheeses like feta stand out not because they’re perfect nutritionally, but because their bold flavor, satisfying texture, and versatility […]

Wabash Cannonball is a small but mighty American original with lots of character. Hand-crafted in Indiana by Capriole, it’s a goat’s milk cheese shaped into a little sphere and coated with a thin layer of vegetable ash much like its French relative, Delice de Poitou. The paste is soft, creamy, and luscious when young, with […]
It’s another Nor’Eater! The weather folks say we’re going to get, and I quote, “walloped” Sunday night into Monday morning — which sounds like the perfect excuse to stock up and stay cozy. Come by and grab the most perfect provisions for a proper snow day — beautiful cheeses, comforting soups, gourmet goodies, appetizers, and […]

This week marks the start of Lent, and while many people are giving something up, we truly hope it wasn’t cheese, wine, and gourmet foods. That said, Lent is also a nice reminder to slow things down a bit, cook a little more thoughtfully, and enjoy simple, good food around the table. Whether that means […]
