Gourmet Gatherings

Reporting back from our trip to Atlanta - The Gourmet Food show was a great success! We placed a few orders, gathered tons of information, and met SO many helpful people.

• Look for Moravian Cookies - the thinnest cookie in the world. These unique, paper thin, crispy wafers might feel delicate (and are low in fat) but they pack a flavorful punch. Made by a family run (we love that) company who immigrated to the US from Czechoslovakia, we will carry three different flavors to start, but you'll have to come in to discover which - and enjoy a taste of each of course!

• We found jellies infused with wine, mulling spices from England (think liquid apple pie), artisan made java biscuits that respect free trade and satisfy your caffeine craving, and must-have chocolates laced with wild fruit flavors whose proceeds benefit wildlife.
  
  
• Amazing Artisan Honey in an array of fancy flavors (pour over Brie or St. Andre, open a bottle of a Washington Riesling and let's talk!) Tea that blooms a flower before your eyes as it steeps and much more.
  
  
• WAIT - WHAT ABOUT CHEESE ??!! We have so many fresh, hand-made cheeses you're going to love, crave, obsess over - STAY TUNED

More pictures will be posted next week of our construction progress - but things are moving along nicely. Feel free to stop by and peek in the windows, and stop in for a bite to eat at our neighbors The Bistro on Park (fabulous salads, sandwiches and Asian slaw!) - Tell Randy at The Bistro "The Cheese Shop on Park sent you!"

When we say CHEESE, You say...

WINE !

After lots of feedback - we decided to take your advice and take the plunge. Into an aged french oak barrel of Bordeaux Wine that is (and american oak, and steel, but those who know me know... my heart goes out to Pomerol). Our current vision is to carry approximately 30 to 40 different wines for sale by the bottle. Eclectic selections that compliment our cheeses, our list will include wine that is ready to drink and ready to accompany your posh wine and cheese tasting party or a romantic picnic in the park. Please feel free to send me your favs or finds in the comment section below.



CONSTRUCTION UPDATE


The design of our space is finished ! We submitted to the city Thursday, August 15. Our thanks to everyone at The City of Winter Park Building Department who have been so helpful and patient in answering all of our questions. Our landlord is commencing their work, pouring the concrete floor is first, then on to the demising walls.

Here is our "Coming Soon" sign which should attract lots of attention.





Below is a view of the shop from across Park Avenue.




Happy September and I hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day Weekend!
