Liberty Square Gourmet Foods, Wine and Spirits

Egg Harbor

This is another special shop at Liberty Square in Egg Harbor.  Wines from value-priced to complex, big reds are avaialble in this shop.  The Door County wineries are all represented here as well as wineries from Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, France, South Africa, Germany, and of course, lots of selections from California. And they’d be happy to pair up your wine with some of the great cheeses and meats they have available – what a great idea for a picnic!  You will find specialty foods from around the world.

One of the owners, Chris, took us on a tour.  You will find a great selection here from sweet ports to dry reds, all in one shop. And, all the wines that are served in their Bistro at Liberty Square restaurant (under the same roof) are avaialble right here in the shop!  So if you try a glass of wine while dining at the Bistro, and you like it, you can take a stroll down to the Gourmet Foods, Wines and Spirits Shop and purchase a bottle!

You will also find a selection of value and premium hard liquors in the “well known essential categories, like vodka, scotch, vermouth and so on.  You will also discover wine accessories, like glasses, decanters, wine openers, cheese knives and more.

Cheeses and Meats

The cheese selection is wonderful, with some hard-to-find cheeses offered by the wheel or by the piece.  Cheeses from Wisconsin and Renard’s, of course, are a must!  But you will also find cheeses from England, France, and Ireland (there is one fermented in Guinness!).  You can find 12 year aged cheddars, Havarti, Le Gruyere and unusual offerings like a “Blueberry White Stilton,” which is also available in a Mango-Ginger and a Lemon White Stilton.  The base cheese in this is used for bleu cheese, but it does not have the fermented part of blue cheese – so this is a great dessert cheese.  Chris told us that the most popular cheese is Bellavitano – made in Plymouth Wisconsin – it is an Artisan cheese, made in small, high-quality batches, which makes it very special.

To round out the offerings, you can get imported salami and olives, and Parma prosciutto ham.  In high season (May – October), you will find dinner entrees and salads that you can select from their cases and bring home to enjoy – with a bottle of your favorite wine, of course.  You’ll also enjoy knowing that there is a frozen meat and seafood section that will also have hors d’oeuvres.  And in summer, you’ll want to visit their “Grab & Go” case, where you will find gourmet sandwiches, salads and heat and serve entrees too.  Wow.  Coffees and teas and fresh breads complete the selections.

Want to grab a bottle of wine, some cheese, a couple of gourmet sandwiches and head out on bikes for a picnic?  Well, step outside and rent a bike after your purchases and off you go!  They will have bikes to rent in the summer too!  This truly is a one stop shopping experience at Liberty Square!

Gifts?

If you are looking for a great gift idea, the Gourmet Foods, Wines and Spirits Shop has premade gift baskets, or can custom-make a gift basket for you too!  In a romantic mood?  Then order up a gift basket before you get here, and take it to your resort or B&B and have that perfect getaway you’ve always dreamed of having!  Ask about catering too!
