WORDEN'S MARKET AND DELI
This double-win sounds like a perfect Friday night to us. A huge sandwich from the deli—may we suggest the Naked Whoppa—plus a nice bottle of red? Count us in. But take your time making your choices. At any given time, Worden's stocks some 1,200 wines, but because its half-dozen distributors can deliver thousands of labels from around the world, the store sells some 8,000 different wines in a year. And while you're mulling over how many bottles (or cases) to buy, be sure to save time to pore over the monstrous sandwich board near the deli. Beyond Worden's selection, though, it's equally noted for its staff. Ebullient Mark Thomsen stands out as one of Missoula's favorite downtown employees. The full package adds up to Worden's being one of our favorite Missoula institutions. Worden's Market: 451 N. Higgins; 549-1293; wordens.com
