Cork and Rind MAINE is brought to you by two people obsessed with all things food. Alexis is the food portion of the equation, Laura the wine and hospitality. No matter how their skills may be divided, both are intensely committed to bringing people the best possible products and service.
From cheese, to bread, to wine and all of the wonderful things in between, we seek out the best of the best, and when we can't find something suitable we make it ourselves, reworking the recipe until it's perfect. We take pride in briDGING THE GAP BETWEEN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS AND YOUR PLATE - WHETHER THAT’S AT YOUR DINING ROOM TABLE OR MOUTAINSIDE DURING APRES SKI.
The love of food was bestowed on both of our owners through their families, passed down through French and Italian lineages with food at the center of their lives. Committed to bringing their families together and providing them only the best, the strong matriarchs of these families instilled in this latest generation an intense respect and love for food. WE PAY HOMAGE TO THESE WOMEN BY CONTINUNING THEIR LEGACY WITH THE FLAVORS OF OUR CHILDHOOD.
oUR SOURCING ETHOS: It is our belief that our future is right here, in our local economy and that it is our job to help the people who help us. That said, we do also import a selection of products which are unavailable here in Maine. We search far and wide for small purveyors who are doing something unique and delicious.
