Cheese Board
Stracchino Stracchino di Crescenza is a soft Italian cow’s milk cheese with a very thin, soft natural rind (encouraged by a short bath in brine). Crescenza has a tart, fruity, fresh flavor. The paste of Crescenza is creamy and can be slightly rubbery in texture. $12.00/ea
Vermont Creamery Coupole Slightly aged chevre with a unique shape. Milder than most chevres with a dense creamy texture. The rind is sweet with a hint of yeast flavor that increases with age. An American original, it is a repeat ACS winner. $18.99/ea NOW ON SALE FOR $9.50
Fran de Maquis from Couet Farm A cow’s milk crottin of tangy, nutty, butteriness that coats your mouth with an unctuous creamy paste. “Franciszka” is covered in the herbs commonly found in the evergreen shrub land of the Mediterranean region: rosemary, fennel seeds, savory, and juniper berries. $18.99/ea
Wine of the Week
Dom de Saje Marquis Anselme Chateauneuf du Pape ’15
“I enjoyed all of the wines from this estate, but I was blown away by the complexity and purity of the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Marquis Anselme Mathieu, which was made in concrete and aged in foudre. Not only does it show beautiful cherry and stone fruit notes, it layers on hints of clove, allspice, garrigue and green peppercorn. There’s ample weight and texture on the palate, with the plush tannins drawing to a silky, spicy finish that lingers for minutes.”
