Greenwood Gourmet Grocery

May 20, 2008
This nifty little place is located in Greenwood, Virginia near Crozet. It’s right off of Exit 107 on Interstate 64 in Virginia. Once you exit, if you see an Exxon, it would be a good place to turn around, because you’d be going the wrong way. The store is RIGHT on US 250 in a barnlike building filled to the brim with groceries, snacks, gourmet cheeses, local produce, wine and, yes, beer. The beer has its own corner in the store. Things are priced a bit haphazardly. Organization is also a bit haphazard, but in a good way. Good selection of American micros, Belgians and a few examples of other foreign beers. The offer sandwiches, salads and soup. My chicken salad sandwich looked horrible but tasted great. Service is very friendly and helpful. They allow you to break sixers on some beers. When I asked if they would let me do that, they said that particular six pack wasn’t eligible to break up, and then let me buy a single from it anyway. I don’t know of any better place to buy bottles in Crozet.
