Gourmet Butcher Shop

Just had to post an update re: The Wine'ing Butcher. QL and I stopped there again this afternoon and got three different flavors of beef tips … "Steak House", "Grillmaster", and "Teriyaki". We had a very nice chat with the owners, Andrew and Gretchen. Andrew described for us the process he uses to marinate the meat, using modern on-site equipment to ensure the marinade completely penetrates the meat. He also told us a bit about his and Gretchen's backgrounds. They just opened the shop in early July, and he said they are anxious to expand their product offerings in the near future.

Back home, we grilled the tips and (like Pepper & Waldo) rounded out the meal with corn on the cob and tomatoes from Beans & Greens. What a delicious meal! The steak tips literally melted in our mouths. The tips are currently $7.49/lb and there is absolutely no waste. On our grill, about 6 minutes per side on medium heat produced perfect (i.e. medium-rare) results.

This is an excellent new Gilford business, and QL and I are quickly in the process of becoming regular customers. Andrew and Gretchen are very friendly and anxious to answer any questions their customers may have. Next trip, I think we'll try the marinated chicken.
