We're turning 1 this week! To thank you for supporting us over this past year, we're running half price bottles on our wine list all day, all week. See you at the cheese bar!

05/27/2026

One year ago this week, we opened the doors to Wedgewood Cheese Bar.

What followed has been one of the most joyful, challenging, surreal, exhausting, rewarding, and community-filled years of our lives.

Over the last year we’ve poured thousands of glasses of wine, cut more cheese than we can possibly quantify, hosted 50+ dinners, classes, events and tastings, and even more first dates, birthday celebrations, reunions, and random Wednesday nights that somehow turned into unforgettable evenings.

And somewhere along the way, this little cheese bar became a real part of people’s lives — which is something we never take for granted.

We’ve never really been the “buy a ticket to our anniversary party” type, so instead we wanted to spend the week giving a little something back to all of you for choosing Wedgewood this past year.

So this week:

🥂 50% off all dine-in wine list bottles all week
🧀 Summer Friday extended from 3–6pm featuring complimentary pours & bites inspired by our favorite wines and cheeses from year one
✨ Free bubbles at the cheese counter while you shop all week long

Mostly, though, we just want to say thank you. To our regulars, our staff, our friends, our families, and everyone who has supported us this first year — thank you for helping us build something that feels warm, alive, and deeply special 💙 💙 💙

See you this week.

After months of planning, research, tasting, and storytelling, Eat the World is officially returning to Wedgewood in August with twelve new destinations spanning coastal villages, alpine taverns, bustling markets, wine-country kitchens, and some of the most compelling regional food cultures in the world.

What began as a small series has quietly become one of our favorite things we do at Wedgewood — a way to explore food, wine, cheese, and regional traditions through the lens of place.

This season, we’ll travel from the Adriatic coastlines of Croatia to the taverns of Bavaria, the kitchens of Bologna, the markets of Oaxaca, the vineyards of Burgundy, the wilds of Patagonia, and beyond.

Late Summer & Fall 2026 Destinations:
Puglia • La Mancha • Coastal Croatia • Istanbul • Oaxaca • Bologna • Bavaria • Burgundy • Lyon • Gruyère • The Jura • Patagonia

The full collection is available here:
https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/eat-the-world-a-global-food-wine-series-4799325

We’ll also close the season with a special six-course Eat the World Finale Dinner, a ticketed Eat the World Holiday Market featuring regional tasting stations, wines, cheeses, pantry items, holiday gifts, and seasonal exclusives.

Thank you for continuing to support these ambitious little culinary journeys we keep dreaming up in Carrboro.

You don’t need a flight to Paris for Bordier Butter. Just good timing.

Because butter is back.

Our pre-order is live with Bordier salted & unsalted bars, cut-to-order mottes, and a full lineup of flavors—yuzu, seaweed, Roscoff onion, smoked salt, and more.

We’ve also put together a few gift boxes and a short list of butter-friendly wines to go with it.

Most of this is available by pre-order only—we’ll have a small amount in the shop, but it tends to go quickly.

Order by midnight on 4/23
Pickup begins May 20

But we never just stock the shelves—we make a whole week of it.

Bordier Week · May 20–23
Intimate tastings at the bar, butter dinners, a full menu takeover, and our first Summer Friday of 2026 (yes, they’re back) with a butter & bubbles theme.

Butter is not a trend. I said it. It’s an incredibly versatile, centuries-old ingredient driven by ingenuity, terroir, history, commerce, and highly skilled craftspeople, mainly women who sought opportunities for economic independence and contribution to their communities, from 17th century milkmaids to contemporary Amish Country. The opportunity to sit down and talk to about BUTTER for was a treat. She came to Wedgewood on a Saturday afternoon, just a couple of days after we received our monthly Bordier shipment— nearly 50 # fresh from the Brittany coast in seven varieties, from Roscoff onion to seaweed to Espelette chili. We sampled 10 butters, all of them cultured and salted, including far-flung dairy darlings from Normandy, Brittany, and Parma, as well as up and comers from Vermont and Wisconsin. We talked about why cultured butter tastes so damn good (the clue is in the question), how and when to use it— at room temp, in cooking, and right off the spoon. The best part about butter having its moment is that it’s more accessible than ever before. So skip the flight to Paris and head to Carrboro (or your local cheese shop) for the good stuff. No sticks, no sweet cream, just the golden, creamy French stuff 🧈 Delighted to see it’s finally getting the credit that it’s due in the U.S.

If you are butter curious, I’m hosting a 14-seat butter & bubbles tasting at Wedgewood on May 6.

We’ve made a small shift to our weekly rhythm at Wedgewood.

Sundays are now the home for private events, special programming, and Eat the World—our ongoing series of immersive, place-driven food and wine experiences.

Over the past few months, we’ve seen growing demand for gatherings that feel a little more transportive—afternoons and evenings built around a region, a table, a point of view. Carving out Sundays gives us the space to do that more intentionally.

From walkaround tastings and wine dinners to full buyouts and celebrations, Sundays at Wedgewood will look a little different each week—but always centered around good food, good wine, and a strong sense of place.

We’ll no longer offer lunch service from 11am to 3pm but you can find us in full swing the rest of the week (Wed through Sat) for everything you know and love at our cheese counter, wine shop and bar.

But Sundays? We’re going somewhere.

More details (and more special Sunday programming) coming soon. 💙

We’re the only shop within hundreds of miles of the Triangle where you can get Bordier cultured butter. Hand-churned and shaped with wooden paddles on the coast of Brittany, it’s cultured for 72 hours, which brings an unrivaled punch of flavor especially when warmed or used for cooking. In fact, when you heat it or finish a warm dish with Bordier, the cultures unlock bright aromatics that mimic citrus and herbs.

She is the gold standard of French butter and is used by chefs, kitchens and home cooks around the world. Bordier is pre-ordered a month in advance and arrives almost simultaneously in the best kitchens in Paris, New York, London, Chicago and more.

It’s a day we look forward to every month— at long last, it’s December “Bordier Day.”

A fresh, 11lb lump arrives tomorrow along with beautifully wrapped bars in varieties of lightly salted, Roscoff onion and wild garlic & kampot pepper. Perfectly sized for stockings and generous holiday spreads.

They hit the case this afternoon, 12/23.

Happy Bordier Day!
