Fromager d’Affinois with Truffles Our favorite softie with shaved truffles – OMG! It melts on the tongue as the flavor of earthy, pungent truffles and sweet cream caress the palate. $28.00/lb
Wine of the Week
Chateau Montlandrie ’15
“The 2015 Montlandrie, matured in 45% new oak, has a very succinct and cohesive bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, briary and light espresso scents. The wood is beautifully assimilated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, perfectly pitched acidity, a little savory and dried blood surfacing toward the finish to complete a glorious wine that fulfills its promise from barrel. Superb. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.” 92 Pts Wine Advocate $33.99/btl
