Cheese Board
Jasper Hill “Harbison” The “it” cheese of the season – just Google it! Full of flavor, similar to Vacherin Mont D’or. With a little age, it finishes with meaty, smoky, junpier notes. Spruce wrapped to maintain its creamy goodness. Remove the top and dig in!
$19.99/ea
Schlossberger Jung Blue Label The raw-milk baby brother of the super-matured Schlossberger. Rich and buttery like his sibling, with a mild, flexible dough. $22.00/lb
Pecorino al Tartufo 100% sheep’s milk cheese embedded with earthy black triffle bits. We are thinking grilled cheese, or simply drizzled with truffled honey. It will fill your sinuses with musky goodness! $40.00/lb

Wine of the Week
Chateau d’Issan ’15
“The 2015 d’Issan is a total knock-out. Spectacularly ripe and intense, the 2015 exudes richness in all of its dimensions. Super-ripe dark plum, lavender, spice, savory herbs, iron, smoke and new leather add myriad shades of nuance to this super-ripe, decidedly hedonistic Margaux. A powerful, dense wine, the 2015 is going to need a number of years before it is close to being ready to drink. I was quite impressed with d’Issan both times I tasted it. The 2015 has really come along nicely. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, aged in 50% new oak. Eric Boissenot consults.”
