Market Basket

The Market Basket in Rockport, ME is a nice shop at the corner of Rte 1 and Rte 90, across the corner from Cellardoor Winery and near Fresh Off the Farm in the heart of the Rte 1 Foodie Triangle.

This Market Basket is no relation to the supermarket chain found elsewhere in New England.

They have a nice selection of wines and ports. They used to have a nice selection of teas including Lorna's and Annette's favorite Kusmi teas, but there were none there yesterday (25 Feb 2012); it was not clear whether they were sold out or no longer carrying the Kusmi teas and as usual the help could provide nothing more than a blank stare.

They have some cheeses there, but they do not date them, so caveat emptor! Always sniff for ammonia when buying undated cheeses. They can be pricey and awful.
