Winchester's Store in Pownal, Vt., five or so miles south of Bennington, Vt., and just "over the…read moreline" from Williamstown, Mass., on US Route 7, has one of the best deli counters in New England. It's nothing fancy. Quite the opposite: painted cinder blocks and basic groceries, a few coolers for the beer, etc., and a first-come first served policy at the deli counter. Jim Winchester, who has owned the place since 1988, is a careful listener and a superb sandwich-crafter. He takes his time with each order. Meats and cheeses are put on bread direct from the slicer (no pre-packaged /weighed kits here) and are carefully constructed and reasonably priced. Daily specials (the meatball sub or sandwich is legendary and don't miss the seafood salad) join no-frills potato and macaroni and tuna salad in the cooler for side dish options to accompany the truly home made sandwiches at Winchester's.

That being said, I've gotten almost immediately sick twice now from eating chicken breast/thigh from here. That was with chicken that had a packed date of the same day and the day prior - and I once saw chicken that was 2 days past the sell by date still sitting out. I eat a fair amount of chicken and haven't had this issue anywhere else and it's concerning for the food handling practices. I also bought frozen pirogies a few weeks ago and got home (a 5 minute drive) and opened them to find them all clumped frozen together in a huge thing of frost - they clearly had not remained frozen at one point. I know it's probably not easy being a small store in a rural area but sadly I will only be stopping in for last minute pantry items if needed - I won't be buying fresh food anymore - food poisoning is seriously not fun.

Shout out to Stephentown. I respect what Dave's is trying to be. Aside from packaged grocery items,…read morethey offer produce, meat, fresh sliced deli cuts, baked goods, subs sandwiches, fried chicken and hot meatball subs. There is no other place in the direct vicinity for these types of items. They were busy on the weekend day I was there. People ahead of me were getting deli cuts and cold sandwiches. I got a meatball sub. I just wish the space was cleaner. I wish that there were fewer flying insects. I wish that the food handling had better glove cleanliness and cross-contamination awareness, and also that there wasnt rotten hamburger patties in the meat case the day i was there. I was impressed by the holding temperature for the meatballs and sauce. They were piping hot....Like PIPING for real. The meatballs tasted good and the sauce is good too. They cut the meatballs in half on the subroll and arranged the halves on the bread by gloved hand. The same gloves had touched deli slicers, scales, deli meat, a switch in the side of the oven and many other surfaces while I stood in line. Ive eaten at sketchy places before (too many according to my husband) but my brain was begging me to reconsider my choice this time. However at that point I figured I had already committed to the 6" meatball sub i had ordered. I shouldnt have. Less than 2 hours later it turned into a disaster.

While it's very nicely arranged inside, I wouldn't go out of my way to stop in. They did sell some refrigerated items like cheeses and pasta. I'd hoped to see more local items. One half of the shop seems to be the bakery area. There were baked goods like croissants and macarons that were uncovered in that area of the store. This didn't make me want to try anything. My mom got a cookie last time she was in and wasn't impressed. The store actually had quite a few people shopping and only one employee who was running back and forth between the shop half and the bakery half of the store. This store has potential- I think if the quality of the baked goods improves, this could be somewhere I'd want to visit more often. If you're in the area checking out Small Song (a terrific store), it's worth stopping in here as well.

there are many many 1* reviews here which seem to do with the proprietor. speaking for myself,…read morejust the pass'n tru life kind, this is one of those indescribably essential places YOU MUST NOT MISS. outside of course you're drawn in by the odd assemblage of moose statues, and of course maybe even wonder whatup with this. of course you realize that moose are seen here now and then, wanderers likely on a pilgrimage from their native area in the adirondack region. but it's easily dismissed unless you reflect on what may be inside the building. in my case, i drove past it maybe a quarter mile before realizing what i was about to miss... true rural americana, eccentric in all manner and aspects. i turned around, of course. the property is littered with all manner of handmade replicas of whatever, though i don't recall any of those wind-driven whirligigs, ever popular among the natives here. i took a few pics to add to the pile though really a camera doesn't do this place justice. if you're tempted to park in a veterans only spot, correct your attitude unless you qualify: show some respect, willya? i needed something to justify my going inside, and figured i'd buy some apple cider donuts, a few to keep me company. i was on a long drive west to the thousand islands where i was headed to stay with a friend in his cabin on oak island, and as grocery stores are scarce there i had to bring something to eat. i bought a dozen, they were a bit stale but then i prefer stale donuts. now the personal touch here ain't too gentle. the old man is crusty, but even crustier is his son, or so i assume he must be. one or both seem to have picked up a little limp along the way possibly as result of military service. whtever the case, only a dedicated first degree relative would be able to handle this job working with the old man. inside the place, there is every conceivable knick-knack ("small worthless objects, especially household ornaments" oxford online dictionary says) that exists, most made in the usa. for some reason though the vibe here isn't real welcoming so if you want to browse around, be sure to make it seem that you are looking for SOMETHING in particular. probably though nobody will give you a second glance until you begin to make your exit. i suppose there was a time when the place was visited by some hapless shoplifter, at least that might explain the lack of friendliness here. if so, i suspect he never came back after being treated to the wrath of these guys. and really, what is there here that anybody might want badly enough that they'd risk stealing rather than pay the man his $10. hell just walking around this assemblage of stuff is worth that as price of admission. i say give the old man and his son a break, they seem at heart nice enough men, just need to get their ashes hauled now and then.

This is always my first stop before heading to Manchester Vt every year and they are the nicest family-always very happy to see returning customers as a well as new ones. Very sad that you had to make a statement at the end of your review about politics-when that had absolutely nothing to do with the incident. Well you missed out on all the great local goods that the store offers to their loved customers. Yelping is a great way to serve the communities-keep it civil. Best~
