Crossing Vineyards Wine & Cheese Shop is now open at Pocono Downs! One of only six retail outlets selected for “Project Sunrise” – the newly-completed $208 million, 300,000 square-foot gaming and entertainment complex at Pocono Downs – the exquisitely designed shop offers multi-level flights of wine and cheese, paired to complement the flavors of each. Customers can build their own pairings, based on their cheese preferences, with wine suggested by a staff knowledgeable about both products.
“Crossing Vineyards and igourmet.com are the perfect pairing, two Pennsylvania based companies that value quality and service,” says Christine Carroll, one of the owners of Crossing Vineyards.
At the new shop, Crossing features a wide range of its award-winning wines (they’ve earned nearly 70 prizes in national and international competitions), including limited quantities of its Library Wine Series, which has been held in reserve. Quality wine accessories, Reidel glassware, wine gifts such as decanters and wine bags, wine books, games, wine-related dishes and giftware, and seasonal gift items such as wine-themed Santas are also available.
The wine and cheese shop also offers igourmet.com’s line of gourmet food products exclusively. Headquartered in West Pittston, Pa., igourmet.com is the nation’s leading online gourmet food and gift retailer. Lauded by Forbes magazine as the best gourmet food website for the past seven years, its product line includes more than 850 imported and domestic specialty cheeses along with an award-winning line of exquisite gifts baskets.
The new shop at Pocono Downs is a perfect complement to Crossing Vineyards and Winery, located on a two-hundred-year-old Bucks County estate, less than a mile from the place where George Washington crossed the Delaware in 1776. Crossing Vineyards crafts four distinct tiers of wine produced from the finest Pennsylvania grapes processed within hours of harvesting to ensure quality. The Vineyard provides its wine to eating establishments with some of the most discriminating tastes, such as the Ritz Carlton Grill Room, and the winery has won numerous medals and accolades from the wine industry.
