Nevertheless, the quantity and quality of the sweets, goods and filled candies in this small shop was simply awe inspiring! There were all sorts of candied lumps of caramel, cherry, chocolate, almond, truffles, pistachio and you can't name each variety you could think of.. Cappuccino, Oreo, double chocolate, whiskey filled and nut covered hand made chocolate clusters of all shapes flavors. One orders the amount, which is paid by weight (weighed on an electronic scale - professionally) and then they are each boxed in tiny green boxes. This place makes a great bet for gifts for women in your family, as a dinner-gift for invitations to a local dinner party at somebody's home, as a small gift to bring home or just to have a relaxed dessert at home with an espresso. When I tried the chocolates outside after my purchase, I did notice a bit of inconsistency in the hardness of a few nut clusters; this leads me to think that they are only refilled when they sell out one tray.. but that is a minor quip. The smooth, rounded chocolate bonbons were impeccable & soft!! I will come back to this wonderful tiny speck. Candy's Adirondack chocolates are haute 'chocolaterie': a veritable oasis for anyone with a sweet tooth!! Simply magnificent (I should write a longer review..)! Review: 5+

In the Town of North Elba, if you want to drop off a donation to the food pantry, participate in…read moreraising money for breast or testicular cancer, hold a meeting of your volunteer committee, stuff envelopes for your elementary school's event, or catch up on the town's news, you go to Terry Robards Wines & Liquors, named for the oenophile Terry Robards. Terry Robards is a wine writer and scholar. His life is a series of stories that should be told while sitting with your interlocutor in recliners by a glowing, fragrant fireplace. His first published book was The NY TIMES BOOK OF WINE, ©1976. He was one of the first American writers to specialize in writing about wines and certainly the most prolific and influential. You could arguably say that today's Millennials' obsession with wine has one of its deep roots in Terry Robard's work. The Robards shop is big enough to dance a Virginia reel in. You can't mistake the fact that it is a liquor store, but it is golden, bright and cheery and serves as far more than the local package store. It serves as an unofficial Lake Placid networking hub. The walls are lined with gleaming bottles, above which are displayed vintage advertisements, photos of Terry through his long storied career, maps, and curated wine ephemera. You could wander the store gazing and letting your thoughts meander. It's like a museum of wines. The center of the room is punctuated by inviting wooden display racks featuring rows and tiers of wines. Once a few years ago, Julie Robinson Robards, the co-owner and Terry's wife, hosted a jewelry swap here, for Breast Cancer Month. We each brought jewelry from home that we were willing to part with, and Julie displayed the collection elegantly, like canapés at a tea party. We guests, all women, moved around the store chatting with each other and sipping complimentary wines. The silver cat pin I'd donated was snapped up for $10, which went into a tall glass container in the center of the table. I got a set of pink pearls for $50. (I bargained, even though it was for charity.) The charity we were raising money for was the local hospital system, Adirondack Health. In all, over the course of the month, Julie's breast cancer fundraising efforts yielded $1,200 for the hospital. Julie specified it was for the comfort of women who were sick. A subsequent Testicular Cancer Month fundraiser and No-Shave November also raised over $1,000 each for parts of the hospital system. Julie is a musician and antiquarian. She loves raising money and volunteering for the community. She goes on to tell me, "Our other big fund raiser was the one we did for the 40 starving and neglected horses that were found in Essex and were eventually taken in by Crane Mountain Valley Horse Rescue. The generosity of the people was overwhelming. We topped $4,000 for that one." Tim Robinson, the store manager, co-owner and Julie's oldest son, comes breezing in with his young daughter Rylee, whom he picked up from the elementary school. Tim's a community-minded man who volunteers for the Lake Placid Business Assocation (LPBA), Shipman Youth Center, recently joined Lions Club, and helps to run Eat ADK Restaurant Week. Sometimes when you come in the store there's dogs: Famous Caymus the black lab mix who modeled for a famous vodka company, Holly the elderly spaniel and Baxter the white Scottie dog. On a rainy spring mid-afternoon, the customer traffic is steady. April greets everyone warmly. "It smells like a campfire," she advises a couple who are thinking about bourbon. The customers ask: "So you don't have one of these open?" They ask about the baby bears that escaped from the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge. April reports that the bears needed to be walked home three miles through the woods once they were found. "Thanks so much, we love your store, it's great!" Another customer says he wants a bottle of Malbec that the restaurants charge $15 a glass for. He leaves with the Malbec, a High West Campfire and a Hetta. April's patter continues: "It drinks almost like a Scotch." "We also have a sake section." "Have a great night."

There are several wine and liquor stores in Lake Placid (based on how people seem to socialize…read morethere, there certainly seems to be enough business to sustain several liquor stores....). Of them all, Terry Robards has emerged as my favorite. They have a pretty decent selection of wines for their size, including some interesting and non-typical selections. The people there know the stock well, and when I went on a Sunday and had a question about a purchase and the salesperson DIDN'T know anything about the bottle I was interested in, she called the owner (impressive). They are very friendly - significantly friendlier than the folks at the other stores, based on my experience. And they are very dog-friendly, which I really like. And they give a 10% discount on wines, and 7% on spirits (why they don't just lower the prices, I can't say - I assume there's some reason they do it this way). In any case, Terry Robards has emerged as my favorite liquor store in Lake Placid (and it doesn't hurt that it is in the same small plaza as the Mini Euro Mart, which I love - if you're going to have people over for drinks, you can get everything you need in one stop).
