At Fromage, A Cheese Boutique, owner Chris Pride keeps the case stocked with 60 cheeses at all times, more than 100 for the winter holidays. About 85 percent are well-known European styles and brands. The rest are domestic and artisanal cheeses, mostly from New York, California and Wisconsin. You’ll find plenty of accompaniments, too. (10 W. Main St., Middletown, 463-5157, www.fromage-middletown.com)
