"As a south Minneapolis liquor store and cheese shop, France 44 began selling THC drinks to keep up with competitors, but I learned their buyer Bill Nosan was visited by a state official who ordered them to sell THC beverages only in the cheese half of the shop and not in the liquor wing due to an overlooked antiquated law." - Joe Berkowitz

"The Mother’s Day bundle I saw is a curated package (canvas tote, bottle of Roederer Estate brut sparkling wine, Brillat Savarin triple‑crème cheese, garlic crostini, chocolate truffles, lemon shortbread cookies, strawberry mousse cake, Worker‑B spring lotion, and locally grown tulips from TC Flower Exchange) priced at $129.99 with $25 ($75 meals) donated to Second Harvest Heartland; pre-order by Thursday, May 6 for Saturday, May 8 pick up (available at either France 44 or St. Paul Meat Shop)." - Alicia Banaszewski

"For simple grazing, France 44’s cheese tray for two includes a selection of best-selling cheeses, prosciutto di Parma, fresh fruit, Valrhona chocolate, house-made crostini, and jam, with the option to add bubbles or a cold-weather red." - Alicia Banaszewski

"For a Thanksgiving picnic or party, France 44’s myriad trays (which serve roughly 10–15 people) include turkey cranberry sliders on sweet dinner rolls and elevated cheese and charcuterie boards; they require a 48-hour minimum lead time and take pre-orders via their catering email." - Alicia Banaszewski

"I find France 44 is a one-stop liquor store and deli with a massive selection of incredible sandwiches that showcase its enormous cheese selection, plus sausages, salads, and charcuterie boards; add a bottle of wine and an online order from France 44 becomes a full picnic-worthy spread." - Joy Summers
