Nowadays, to be a successful family-run business is a victory all by itself. P.G.’s Grove Market wins again for its extensive butcher shop, weekly produce specials and wonderful selection of wines from vineyards like Heller Estate and Morgan. Located in the slice of Americana that is downtown Pacific Grove, it’s an establishment that gives small-town character and charm to an actual small town. Too busy with your day? Call in or fax your grocery list by 2pm, and someone will deliver your bags (minimum $25 order) right to your door. Unless you’re ordering pizza, that kind of service is hard to find.
