My mom and I were pretty excited to visit a cheese bar, as big fans of great cheese and wines and…read morecraft cocktails. We were not disappointed. But call, the hours on Yelp are not the bar hours, which are extended. The space was formerly a little cheese shop for Clock Shadow. It was pretty basic. The atmosphere has really ascended. There is a small retail section and cheese case for shoppers. The bulk of the small space has been transformed with moody, chic wallpaper, a classic old school bar and tables. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. Service is very good and not intrusive, but you will learn a thing about what you're experiencing. The pairings are eye opening. The cheese is exquisite. Although the cheese itself is on the expensive side, the flights are reasonable for what you get. The pours on the wine are fair and there is enough cheese to share. Dried fruit and corn are added as a pallet cleanser. Loved it! Everyone needs a cheese bar with drink pairings. The wine and beer menu as suggested pairings for cheese as well. They also have some interesting craft cocktails. Street parking can be an issue, so maybe prepare for a little walk during popular times.

My partner…read moreand I stopped by on a weekend afternoon and we were SO pleasantly surprised by the experience. The shop is split into two parts: the deli counter where you can sample and buy cheeses, and the cafe/bar where you can sit down and order cheeseboards and wine flights. We started in the deli and the young blonde woman behind the counter (I'm sorry, I didn't catch her name, but she was incredible) gave us such good recommendations. The Luna and the shallot herb cheese were to die for! The Luna won 3rd place internationally in a cheese contest, and you'll see why when you taste it. So complex and nuanced, with little crunchy crystals of salty goodness from the year and a half it spends aging. We then went to the cafe part, which has a good number of tables, and ordered a couple cheese plates. Again, our girl delivered--she made our cheese plates so that the accompaniments were all different and so we could try as many crackers and side dishes as possible. So thoughtful! The price was also very reasonable. Would not hesitate to come back here again. Fantastic service! And try the Luna!

And of course I saw this place and knew I had to check it out. The location is what feels like the downtown Milwaukee area. The folks here are very friendly and very, very helpful. They have a good variety of cheese here. Different types and aged at different intervals. You can go from the more mild younger cheese to the older sharper cheese as an example (trust me there's a lot of cheese here). I would definitely hit this place up more if I lived in the area. I ended up taking a little bit of cheese for my trip home from here as well as some gourmet popcorn seeds.

The store has lots of samples and even a little restaurant/place to order hot food plus it has a bar. There was also a man who asked my sister if she ever had this certain well known local beer (well, prob just well known to WI people). When she said no the man then walked her over to the bar and got her a glass of the beer. We prob spent 90 min in this castle. (It even look like a castle.) If you are in the area do not miss this awesome stop.

Overall, a great stop! And a nice sized parking lot with plenty of spaces.

Yes, they have lion's mane, in all of its repugnant mushroom gloriousness. River Valley Ranch Mushroom Farm was started in 1976, by Bill Rose and his son, Eric. They continue to run the show today. The focus here at River Valley Ranch is on producing chemical-free mushrooms. They have multiple barns that serve as mushroom grow rooms, but they also produce a variety of other chemical-free vegetable crops. They sell their produce in their store and also local farmers markets. The store inside River Valley Ranch is like a dream come true for people who like to eat good, local food. You will find produce and goods that River Valley Ranch has grown and created on their farm, but also local Wisconsin products created elsewhere. Everything on the shelves feels like it was carefully considered before being placed there. There are also freshly baked loaves of bread baked in-house, wine and beer, Wisconsin cheese, many jars of pickled things, jellies and jams, and a kitchen where you can find meals and hot food. This place is awesome.

If you're going to get 1 item from here, I highly recommend it being that. It's won awards for numerous years and is recognized from reputable places. This small town market has a lot to offer, most of its products are directly from them or locally sourced. It's designed to give off a small town feel and is cozy. We were hoping to walk around the apple orchard and outside grounds but unfortunately that is only available Saturdays and Sundays. Since we stopped in on a Wednesday that area was closed. We made the best out of it and strolled around the market instead. Staff members were helpful. No one was pushy and we didn't feel rushed to get in and out. We purchased several items and if I were to go back I'd definitely get the apple pie in a bag and chocolate peanut butter balls again. I'd pass on the seasoned pretzels and cheese curds. They were just fine IMO.
