I'm not sure why this is listed as a liquor store. Grove stone sells truly special olive oil and balsamic vinegar made in on the owners family olive Grove in Greece! trust me, it's worth a quick drive down Kirby avenue to the Old Farm shops in Champaign.

while you're at old farm shops buying olive oil at Grove stone, order a delicious sandwich at Cheese and Crackers. It's worth the few minutes it takes for them to put it together in this old fashioned style deli.
