SMEG is Here!
New Product Line Announcement!!! We are thrilled to announce the arrival of this amazing range of kitchen products. We are carrying SMEG’s line of toasters, blenders, coffee makers, stand mixers, juicers, and kettles. They are retro-styled with modern technology inside. Beautifully styed and available in a multitude of colors. Style, for SMEG, is a distinct concept: 
the way a product communicates with its surroundings and enables users to interact with it. Attention to detail and design solutions bring to life homes that reflect the image of their occupants. With SMEG, appliances take center stage in the heart of the home, a place where people can congregate. The kitchen integrates all of their functions, and becomes a perfect, fully-equipped backdrop for those precious and enjoyable moments. Dress up your kitchen today!
Cheese Board
Beppie Pikant Winner of the Gold Award at the International Cheese Conference, this organic sheep’s milk gouda is rich, creamy, spicy-sweet, and mouth-watering. Aged for 7 months. $32.00/lb
Indigo Bunting American, hand-made artisanal blue. More crumbly than creamy with a not-quite-roquefort bite to it. $29.99/lb
White Stilton with Ginger & Mango This sweet, white stilton takes a much different slant to the idea of stilton. The perfect dessert cheese accented with bits of mango and ginger. $27.99/lb
Wine of the Week
Zuccardi Serie A Malbec 2018 “The 2018 Malbec Serie A was produced in a transparent way, trying to express the varietal character of the grapes from the Valle de Uco. It has an herbal twist with a wild and spicy side, full of character and with very good freshness. 2018 was a return to a classically dry year with homogeneous ripeness. This is a wine with energy, brightness and freshness, with only 20% of the wine matured in used barriques—for logistical reasons more than trying to mark the wine with oak. So, it’s fruit driven and pure, supple, medium-bodied with less volume than your average Malbec.” 91+ Pts Wine Advocate $13.99/btl

Mask Up!
Face Masks Required Columbia City Council passed an emergency ordinance requiring the use of a face mask. In a continued effort to provide a safe and healthy environment for staff and customers, The Gourmet Shop will be requiring a face mask for anyone to enter the shop or indoor dining area. (This includes standing in line to pay after eating outdoors.) Please be prepared. Stay safe, wash your hands, and mask up!
A Statement on Safety
While our store remains OPEN (9am-6pm Mon thru Sat, 10am-5pm Sun) and café offers outdoor dining and take-out (9am-4pm Mon thru Sat, 10am-4pm Sun), we want to assure you that safety and health are our top priority. For customer and staff safety, we have been adhering to CDC and WHO recommendations and augmented our already strict cleaning regimen including vigilant sanitizing of surfaces, strict use of gloves, and limited personal contact. We will continue to stay updated on new information and regulations and will remain open as long as it is prudent to do so. Thank you for all of the amazing support during this difficult time and keep shopping local!
