Hi Folks!

Big News! Our Southborough store now sells liquor -- so stop by and see the staff
for your favorite holiday libations -- as we stock up, let us know what you'd like to see on our shelves.We currently carry a small but well edited range of single malts, artisan bourbons, vodka, rum, gin and Tequila, cordials, grappa, and cognac. As with Marlborough, our spirits selection will be aimed towards the discerning customer. Please ask for any special orders.

Big thank you to Vin Bin Nation for turning out last Saturday -- on  relatively short notice, to take advantage of our wine stock up sale at Marlborough Country Club. It was a huge success and you can count on us doing it again, this time with more planning. Thank you Marlborough Country Club for an incredible job hosting us as well. For those who placed orders, you should be getting calls today and tomorrow -- as orders are in and we want you to have your supply in time for Thanksgiving.

Just 24 hours left to order FRESH Turkeys. We have teamed up with Out Post Farm in Holliston to bring you farm fresh, no hormone, free-range turkeys. And the sides -- don't forget our house made sides.  Click here and download our order form. Fill it out, bring it into any of the three locations, or call us and we can fill it out with you. 508-480-9463. ORDER DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, NOV. 18 AT 3 P.M.

Amanda's Cheese Corner -- Epoisses . This soft ripened, washed rind cheese
hails from Burgundy and is considered among the noblest of French cheeses. A creamy cow's milk, bathed in marc de Bourgogne, a local brandy, this cheese turns a reddish hue and is enclosed by a round box to keep it from oozing. Put this on the cheeseboard and let folks have at it. Pairs well with sweet wines, red Burgundy, and a good Belgium ale.
