109 Cheese and Wine is excited to announce the expansion of the Ridgefield store

/0 Comments/in /by
109 Cheese and Wine is excited to announce the expansion of the Ridgefield store.  We will be growing closer to our neighbors, Swoon and Sucre Sale, by taking over the space previously occupied by Ink Fine Stationers.  Our focus will continue to be on wonderful cheese, wine, and gourmet foods. With the additional space we will expand our kitchen, entertaining and gift areas in the cheese shop. Our wine store will continue to curate the best small producers’ wines and will expand our spirit’s selection keeping with the small artisan theme. If you like beer, we also plan to grow our craft beer selection. We hope to have the new wine store open this week and the cheese store expansion will follow soon after. During the renovations, both the cheese and wine stores will remain open.
We believe that the meal is not only about the food, but also the experience and the people.  109 will continue to help make every meal the best experience it can be. 

Come say hi and check out our new space!

Todd, Monica, Otis and the entire 109 staff
