Welcome to the Grand Trunk!  We, the husband and wife team along with our two little girls, Eloise and Sophia love to excite folks who share our passion for exquisite food, wine and beer from around the world.  Opening our doors in 2003, we continue to grow our range of products to suite the most ambitious connoisseur. We specialize in European foods that we discover on our frequent travels to Europe, Canada, and the United States. We directly import many products from our travels including: glassware from Germany, knives and wine openers from France, cutlery from Italy, and many products from Quebec. We pride ourselves on introducing you, the consumer to new and exciting foods from Europe and regionally.

Our wine and beer offerings are a unique hand picked selection including many that are organic and bio-dynamic. The focus being on European wines, and from producers that believe in quality rather than quantity, we have visited many of the estates and personally taste and select every bottle for the store. Our beer selection includes rare Belgian, German, UK, and domestic craft beers along with fine ciders and Mead’s.

Angela Kirkpatrick R.D.

As a registered dietitian (RD) I have always had a strong connection with food and the Mediterranean diet, eating from the earth and eating in moderation. I have worked extensively for European food importers and natural food brokerage companies traveling the country, along with assisting Oldways Preservation Exchange and Trust-a think tank for promoting traditional foods from around the world. With a B.S. in Food Science, I have a direct connection to what food from the earth is and what the benefits are to our bodies. I believe in “clean” unadulterated food products, nothing processed, hydrogenated or man made.

Jeremy Kirkpatrick

I have always had a passion for culture and food; with an undergraduate in Anthropology and an MBA in International Business and Entrepreneurship, I have traveled throughout Europe and other areas of the world visiting brewery’s, wine producers, and anything related to food. Spending time working in several brewery’s after my undergraduate-Shipyard Brewing in Portland, ME and Casco Bay Brewing  led me to develop a passion for quality craft beer! Eventually working at the esteemed Formaggio Kitchen while in graduate school fueled the ambition to open our store.
