Made a nice Charcuterie with the deli Austrailan Chedder & their Wisconsin 1500 day aged cheddar. Paired the cheeses with my sliced honey glazed ham for appetizers for a party. They have gluten free options too for crackers etc to compliment. Great quality cheese, helpful staff. read more

Ordered the small cheese meat board for my folks. Absolutely delicious products and artfully displayed . I added crackers and olives to put it over the top. The service provided was not just efficient but obvious love and care were put into making it perfect. Absolutely recommend this place read more

Easily the best specialty beer/wine/liquor store in the entire region. They have everything and will order if you don't find it. They are so knowledgeable and approachable if you have questions. They also sell super fancy cheeses and breads- many local. And, local and organic eggs, milk, sausage, meats. read more

Friendly service, a unique wine selection and a great variety of everything make this a great stop! What impressed me the most is the honesty of the owner. I asked for a particular type of wine, and he sold me exactly what I was looking for. No up sell, just honest. This will be a constant stop when in Midland!!! read more

Every time I go they are knowledgeable and helpful. If they don't have something they will see if they can get it. They also have a delicious cheese selection in the back that makes it a one stop shop for girls night with charcuterie. read more

Great liquor and wine selection. Cheese and meat counter has some good choices. Perfect place if you want quality items!

Good service nice people always helpful I drive from Saginaw because I found cork and ale rude

TERRIFIC store! Great selection of beers, wines and cheese. BIG selection of cheese, so if you can't find it someplace, go here. Or just go here first. This is one of the stores we always visit when we have out-of-town guests, and the are always impressed.Great assistance with any questions you might have, down to super detailed wine questions. Just a fun shopping experience. read more

Nice selection. Helpful staff. Great variety and value on Spanish red wines. Nice olives and cheese as well

Probably one of the best party stores I have been to. An elite place to go. If you wish to throw a party then this would be the place to go. This place has probably one of the best selections of alcohol and cheeses. The only places that I have been to that has a better selection would be maybe 2 duty free airport shops in France and the Netherlands. You can spend a good half hour just looking through all the wines. They even had my favorite meads. No matter what you want, they are bound to have something. The deli is quite nice too. I haven't had any cheese or meat I didn't like. The staff is good at recommending selections of the deli. However, the staff isn't the best at recommending whiskey. But that would be extremely nit picky. I rate this place a 9.5/10. Well done for having a diverse selection. Anyone can come here and spend a fortune but people can get some good stuff without spending an arm and a leg. Service is quite good. It's a good place. Joining with Crust is also good. read more

The first time I visited was for the cheese counter with friendly service and generous samples. They have such a big selection and a wide variety of alcohol as well. I spotted several beers and ciders that I couldn't find at Cork & Ale, which is why I returned. I mean, the cheese was good but I don't buy the fancy stuff that often.. it was definitely the beers that caught my eye! They have a lot of singles already separated so I can try new ones without committing to a 4 or 6-pack. (: I don't drink wine that often but they do have a wide variety and helpful employees who are more than willing to help you pick a good bottle for the occasion. The prices are obviously a little high but for the hard-to-find items I am willing to pay it. If you are looking for some interesting international sweets and snacks to fill a gift basket or bring as a gift for the host/hostess, have a look. read more

Eastman Party Store - Cheese Shops Near Me - Midland, Michigan

In Midland, there's no better place to find quality wine, beer, or cheese. I've had the unique experience to be here during every season and I always make a stop here for any beverage or cheese need. If I'm looking for wine, Gar or his staff know how to find what I'm looking for. They also know what cheese I need to go with said wine. I have explore the whole gamut of wines and they have anything of want including all the French or Michigan wines I love. Cheese is a necessary component in my works and the staff behind the cheese counter, knows their stuff. You will find a cheese you like! Or keep tasting! In Midland, this is this place to go!! read more

Fantastic place for a large variety of cheeses... alcohol, wine, beer....you get the picture! Plus they have a variety of breads, cookies, jams, olives and so much more. This is the place to find that unusual brand or your favorite usual. You can sample the cheese before you buy so no mistakes and the staff are always helpful with whatever you are purchasing. We stop in to stock up on our cheeses (they freeze well) and are always happy with the service and products. read more

Eastman party store is the best! I was looking for something new on the market that my brother had found and enjoyed and Gar talked to his distributors and found it for us. The customer service is always outstanding and Eastman Party Store is a store others should emulate when it comes to customer service. Love this store! If you need nice meat and cheese trays for special occasions or a nice bottle of wine for a housewarming gift this is the place to go! If you have never been you have to try it out! read more

Nice selection for a small town, but certainly not "remarkable". I think Eastman Party Store must have invented Price Gouging. Coming from a city in California, I would say the wines here are 40% higher in cost. The French Champagne prices are jacked way up here as well. Normally Veuve Clicquot sells for around 35 dollars a bottle, Eastman jacks it to 45.00+ I know the state controls the minimum price of hard liquor, but damn, Eastman manages to jack up the prices that are already artificially high. A cheap bottle of Glen Fid is 35 at most places, 46 here. read more

Eastman Party Store provides all you need when hosting a special occasion. An incredible selection of wines / spirts, interesting food, and more. Staff are very knowledgeable. Always a positive experience when we go to the location. read more

So much good to say about them! We were greeted as soon as we walked in! The staff was so nice! We needed Raclette cheese and they guided us to the cheese counter. Holy crap! There was so much cheese! A huuuge case filled with deliciousness! There were even glorious samples! And the guy that waited on us knew his stuff too! He was really nice! He even knew what wines to pair with our cheese. He also had us sample a truffle Gouda cheese, and we took some of that too. There was a girl at the other counter who helped us with wines. Overall, it was just the most pleasant experience! And everyone loved what we brought to the table! read more

The "Needless Mark-up" of Midland party stores, but without the goods. You southern city gals will catch my drift:) However, they do not have much competition locally, so we are at their mercy. How have they gotten away with this price gouging for so long? Most of what they have I could buy at Central Market in Dallas. The wine is ridiculously overpriced. Really! I will say they have an extensive selection of cheese in the deli, as well as a various olives and a nice spicy salami or two. read more

The "almost complete" source of cheese and specialty sausages and meats in Midland county. Terrific selection of wines and beers The management is very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Used to b a 5-star review, now much lower because of attitude and prices. They seriously mark up their prices. Last week I got a single bottle of Brooklyn Blast for $4.75. Got a four-pack in Lansing for $7.60. They also, as of last week, have a Stone Enjoy By 7.04.14 on their shelves for the full price of $7.99 - not even reduced, despite clearly being expired. When we asked about it an employee said how he doesn't see a problem with it because he's never had a problem with old beer. Insulting and ignorant. read more

One of our very favorite stops in Midland. They have a remarkable selection of wines and beers -- we have an ongoing $15-and-under wine contest at our house, and we've found some great inexpensive wines here. (Although if price is not an obect you'll find some great expensive wines here too.) We are also fans of the deli counter -- a great selection of domestic and international artisanal cheeses, again in a broad enough price range to please many customers. We appreciate being able to find so many ethnic and specialty foods here -- living in a tiny rural community north of Midland, it would be very difficult for us to obtain some of those trendy/exotic recipe ingredients if Eastman weren't around. Most of the staff is knowledgeable and helpful. My advice to local shoppers unused to specialty food stores like this, who may have hesitated to visit Eastman: Don't be intimidated...ask questions, ask for samples at the deli and have fun. read more

What a great place! Huge selection of beer/wine/cheese/condiments. Friendly staff. Large selection. Yum! read more

Brought a bottle of Fratelli Revello Barolo 2015. I was so excited to enjoy this $50 bottle of wine with my wine on a Friday night during Covite 19. This wine was off/ spoiled/did taste like a wine or even close to what this wine should taste like. I have heard up to 10 % of wine can be spoiled. I understand that and expect it. After tasting the wine and deciding this is not what a Barolo tastes like. I went on line and looked up the tasting notes for this wine/vintage. After reading the reviews I was correct this wine was off/bad. I went to Eastman and After speaking to the owner or manager he reassured me the wine was fine. He told me it was young and the region it comes from taste like this. Such as , wet stone, almost no fruit, all acidity and tennis. The nose/ smell did not show the true bouquet this wine can and should show. I have worked as a wine rep for 20 years. Eastman showed very bad customer service. Heads up when shopping for wine at this store. read more

Eastman Party Store has a great selection of wines and beers, including plenty of obscure/hard-to-find beers ... which I love. I especially appreciate being able to buy single bottles of beers before splurging on a 4-pack or 6-pack. While I've never bought anything from the cheese/gourmet deli counter, I've heard great things about it. The only drawback about this place is that I ALWAYS end up buying something! read more

Side selection of good food and beer, however, overpriced. Most staff was helpful, however, the bald 'gentleman' that works there was excessively rude. read more

best wine/beer and cheese selection in Midland. also a good place for herb. If you can't find a herb or an international ingredients, Eastman party store and Lazeez are your next best bet to go in Midland. (For middle eastern and mediterranean flavor, and asian items, now you can go to Lazeez International market near Kroger (144 Ashman circle)). read more

Love this place. Can find all the specialty foods not carried by the big stores. Friendly and knowledgable staff too.

Outstanding selection of domestic and imported cheeses. They have good turnover and you won't find cheeses past their prime. Wish the employees at the cheese counter had more knowledge of their cheeses, but the owner certainly does, and I love this place! Eastman also has a nice selection of wine, beer, spirits, and imported foods. read more

Hands down the best place for specialty foods / wines in the midmichigan region. Staff is great & knowledgeable. Hours of operation extensive. We frequent Eastman weekly, sometimes several times in a day when we are making something special. This is a five-star gem. We love this place!!! read more

A very wide selection of cheeses you cannot find any where else in the Tri City's. Really great selection of artisan bread. Excellent crackers and meats. And the best Selection of wine in town, If you have not tried the Moscato D'Asti by Tintero you should. read more

It is not bad, they have some good beer and wine and the international foods is amazing. The only thing i take away from that is there unwillingness to order things that they do not have. I would order there more if they would do that for us but they do not and it is sad. But it is nice that they have international foods like Walkers crisps they are love. read more

Really great cheese selection. Knowledgeable and friendly staff the majority of time we visit. Nice selection of other specialty foods as well. The wine, beer, and alcohol selection is great for such a small store. One of our favorite places to go in midland. I only gave it a 4 because some of the prices are a bit high. read more

Great selection of Wines, especially their Michigan Wine Selection. Prices - Reasonable but not the Cheapest. If you're looking for Michigan Wine -- I'd check Meijer's first, their usually cheaper. However, if you're looking for an advanced selection, head here. read more

Eastman Party Store supplied all of the Beer, Wine, Alcohol and Champagne for our daughters wedding. Gar and his team were awesome to work with, their customer service was impeccable! read more

This is a great store for for anything wine, cheese and specialty meats in Midland. Usually I would give 5 stars, but unfortunately the staff is a little hit and miss. We've had great service here as well as awful and rude. Nevertheless, we come back often, as nothing compares to the selection in the area. read more

Great place! I'm a huge Craft Beer fan, and Eastman Party Store has an outstanding selection. The owner, Gar, is usually present and always willing to help. Oh, if you want a special treat, try the pimento cheese spread with the butter pretzels. Wow!! read more

Gar (the owner) is awesome! He really knows his stuff!! If you need a recommendation or help picking out a wine or any other beverage...they can help! Plus their cheese and food selection is GREAT! Stop by...worth the visit read more

One of the best stores in Midland. It is pretty pricey, depending on what you buy. There are others that have mentioned the price markup, which I believe it definitely true. They always have delicious samples out all the time, but they are a trap because I always end up buying everything to duplicate it :) haha. They have a fantastic cheese selection. read more
