Recommended: The Cheese Shop of Centerbrook, specializing in cheeses, wine, meats, breads, oils and vinegars, and specialty foods, is more than worthy of a detour if you're roadtripping through Connecticut. Great selection and attentive, informative assistance.

The Cheese Shop of Centerbrook, 33 Main Street, Centerbrook, CT (closed Sundays).
