Valentine’s Day
Fran’s Chocolates Who was the first person to add salt to a caramel? Fran of Fran’s chocolates. The handmade caramels from Fran’s Chocolates are among the most delicious candies we’ve ever tried. These award-winning confections are made with gray salt harvested off the coast of Brittany. The gourmet salt perfectly complements the rich dark chocolate and fresh buttery caramel to create lingering layers of flavor. Fresh stock in the shop for Valentine’s Day!
Fondue for Two
Brand new fondue pots just arrived from BOSKA. Great selection in stock. The Dutch company Boska has been making its fondue pots since 1896. Their ceramic mini fondue is perfect for sharing a quick fondue or tabletop tapas for two. Swirl fruit in chocolate or enjoy a breakfast fondue of waffles dipped in warm syrup.
Cheese Board
Cheddar Huntsman English double Gloucester with layers of Blue Stilton. This savory combination blends two of the most popular English cheese flavors into a simple, yet delicious morsel. $22.00/lb
Comte Aged The French sister of Gruyere, this version incorporates a more earthy flavor to the classically nutty cheese. The minerally undertones create a perfect accompaniment to many white Burgundies. $26.00/lb
Tome Charbin A Basque cheese supposedly 3,800 years old, this recipe has certainly withstood the test of time. It’s a sweet and nutty semi-firm goat’s milk cheese with a mild goaty taste and just a hint of tartness. $26.00/lb

Wine of the Week
Trimbach Pinot Gris Reserve Personnelle ’12
“Pale straw-green. Pristine aromas of white stone fruits and balsamic herbs. Rich and ripe but very fresh too, with lively acidity enlivening the orchard fruit and balsamic spice flavors and extending the finish. The wine’s residual sugar is obvious but it nonetheless comes across as basically dry, extremely precise and not at all heavy. The long aftertaste features notes of smoked beef, tropical fruits and flint. A knockout Pinot Gris.”
