When I came home to visit this summer, I was at first disappointed to learn that the Sow's Ear was…read moreno longer around. But then upon learning that it was replaced with wine (and not Sutter Home/Franzia/Night Train), my disappointment evaporated. Not what you'd expect to see in Machias (especially not for very long), where Natty Light and The Beast reign as the preferred beverages....but the owners aren't doing it to turn a profit, they're doing it for the love of it. We got to chat with them for a little bit and that was nice to learn. They have tons of wonderful wines from around the world here (even some from Virginia....wtf?) and my husband and I were able to satisfy our wine snobbery even in the outer reaches of downeast Maine during our stay thanks to these guys. They have a lovely Spanish grenache as well as a crisp Pouilly-Fuisse that we pretty much lived off of. In addition, they have lots of excellent specialty cheeses to offer, and will give you samples to try while you shop. Prices are basically what we're used to for California (the previous reviewer mentioned that they're probably a little steep for Machias and I'd have to agree) but definitely worth it when the next best shit in town is the Bogle available at Hannaford.

There are so many things to do in Bar Harbor, I can not recommend stopping here. We have visited…read moremany wineries along the East Coast and this was by far the saddest experience. It's a tasting room not a winery. There are a few blueberry bushes around the property. The tasting flight consists of 3 very small glasses. I recommend finding a great location and having a glass of wine or two of good wine and skipping the "winery."

Very different (and sweet) from what I'm used to. We got some cheese spread from the cooling station and some crackers to enjoy with our tastings. Everything was wonderful.

Best smoked salmon I've had... We stay in the region every summer and Sullivan Harbor Smokehouse…read moregets at least on to two visits per week. They have several items that are absolute standouts - our favorite is Dave's Omega Delight, chunks of smoked salmon cured with maple syrup. Need I say more? Our seven year old won't let us pass by without stopping. The smoked mussels sell out within days. Other items such as the scallops (a bit pricey) are just as good. Their smoked salmon - spot on - I've never had even the slightest grissle. In the fall, I've had salmon cured with blueberry and cranberry. Simply fantastic. Stop by when you're in the area - you'll be happy you did. Wish they sold products in my area - I'll do an internet search right now to make sure I'm not missing out.
