About Us

Here's some info about Farmstead Cheeses and Wines:

• We're located in the Alameda Marketplace along with nine other fine food purveyors and eateries.
  
• In three years, we've become an integral part of the Alameda community, and have become the place to buy wine and cheese.
  
• We have the largest selection of cheeses and wines on The Island with 150 artisan cheeses and over 500 hand selected wines, as well as artisan oils, vinegars, handcrafted beers and ales, glassware and more.
  
• We were awarded Best Cheese Store of 2005 by the editors of the East Bay Express.
  
• Jeff has been writing articles for the Alameda Sun every month. So far, he's written on Sparkling Wines, Fondue, Proper Wine Serving Temperatures, Rosé wines, How to Construct a Cheese Course, Cheese History, and White Wines - with many more to come.
  
• We've started sending out an email/newsletter to our customers. We have 8000 names on our email list, and are adding dozens weekly! Not bad for a 800 square foot store in Alameda!
  
• In December 2005, we had our first wine dinner - at a local restaurant called Pappo. We sold out the danged thing in 10 hours! Everyone had a great time. Since then we've conducted dinners at Eccolo and The Bay Wolf, with many more to come.
  
• We launched our Wine Club in January, 2006 featuring moderately priced wines. We have over 130 members to date.
• We launched a Pinot Noir wine club in September 2006, featuring small lots of hard to get Pinots from all over the globe.
