It's time to update my review of this outstanding and unique business. Vinaigrette specializes in a…read morevariety of high quality olive oils and vinegars. I cook almost everything using olive oil. It is more healthy than many alternatives and adds to the flavor particularly of Mediterranean style dishes. There are differences in taste for different types of olive oils and you can sample the many varieties they stock and find what appeals to you. They also have a wide selection of vinegars including white basalmic in many flavors. I make my own vinaigrette using one part vinegar and three parts olive oil. In a large bowl slowly whisk the olive oil into the vinegar until emulsified. Then toss with your salad. Simple, fast , and no added preservatives emulsifiers etc. The store itself is nicely decorated with works of local artists and the staff are friendly and helpful. PS although their toasted sesame oil isn't an olive oil it's a great enhancement poured over vegetables and humus. Treat yourself at Vinaigrette.

These 2 things easily take up half of the floor space. They also have bulk spices of every flavor and color. These are self-serve and are weighed at the front desk. My friend came here looking for a weird and somewhat rare Szechuan Peppercorn that makes your tongue numb (without burning it). And they actually had it in the bulk spice area! Finally, there's a myriad of weird salt lamps. Interesting. -Daddy Maxx Retro

Located in the Northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis, Surdyk's Liquor and Cheese is an institution,…read morestarted as a liquor and grocery store in 1934, moving to this location in 1979. Now run by third-generation owners, it expanded to retailing fine wine and cheeses as well. I stopped in to buy some house gifts, and was pleasantly surprised by its very large selection of products, displayed in a way that it was enjoyable to do some 'window shopping'. In my case, I focused on the whiskey's and found what I was hoping for (from the Nikka distillery, a place I had visited a long time ago). But surprisingly it carried American made whiskey (in this case, from the Seattle area) for a price that was lower than what I had paid when actually visiting the distillery itself. I took the time to walk around a bit, noticing that they had an entire section devoted to just German and Austria wines. (Would have been shocked to find wines from Luxembourg, which is on my list). There were also a large beer refrigerated room, as big as any I've seen at big retailers. Of course, it had the beers from the Midwest that are hard to find where I live now (Leinenkugel, Hamm's, and Zywiec). Also noticed a small display of cigars, protected behind locked glass. Ended up getting two Westland Single Malt 750ml for $56.99 each. Checkout was identical to any large liquor store chain (like a grocery store checkout with employees who do checkout and are not really knowledgeable about the products sold).
