About

Nestled in the hill town of North Shrewsbury, Pierce's Store first opened as a General Store in 1865. The Pierce family ran the store for over a century, eventually bequeathing it to the Preservation Trust of Vermont. Reborn as The Shrewsbury Cooperative at Pierce's Store, it offers freshly baked goods, grab-and-go sandwiches, local produce and handcrafted goods made by local artisans. Events include wine and beer tastings, the Blueberry Festival, and fiercely contested Chili Cookoffs.

Pierce's Store in North Shrewsbury will be celebrating the advent of fall with wine, music and tasty treats from 4pm to 6pm Friday September 13th. The trio ensemble of Roxanne Ramah (violin), Al Wakefield (flute) and Kristi Bragg (cello) will return to Pierce's Garage for a final 2024 appearance, along with hors d'oeuvres from master chef Heather Shay (grilled shrimp skewers and grilled vegetable skewers with roasted garlic dipping sauce and chicken satay skewers with peanut sauce).

And of course there will be wine -- a complimentary tasting in Pierce's Store and wine by the glass for the sale in the Garage. I'm very excited about a new wine label which features some superb French wine at very reasonable prices. Their secret is to find the small cooperatives and the out-of-the-way places that the French themselves would favor for their daily wine.

We'll sample a white Bordeaux and a red Bordeaux, both priced at a very affordable $11.99. Here's what Eric Asimov of the NY Times has to say about the red: "This bottle is precisely the sort of wine you imagine the locals drinking... It's supple, dry, fresh, mildly tannic, humble and direct."

We'll also expand our horizons with a delightful white from Côtes de Gascogne ($9.99) and a graceful red from Valençay ($15.99). A refreshing Tempranillo from Castilla in Spain ($9.99), will complete the offering.

So please plan to join us on Friday for a convivial, delectable event.
