Cheese Board
Fior d’Arancio For this special blue, Sergio Moro pierces the young cow’s milk cheese, places it in barrels, and then bathes it in Fior d’Arancio DOCG sparkling wine for about 30 days. It is then left to finish aging on wooden planks. The wine helps the cheese develop aromas of stone fruits, honey, and orange blossom.
$32.00/lb
Delice de Bourgogne Creamier, more decadent answer to its classic cousin, Saint Andre. This old style triple crème is the perfect unison of full-fat milk to fresh cream, balancing a rich, full bodied flavor with a delicately smooth, melt in the mouth texture.
$21.00/lb
Pecora Rossa Sweet and creamy, with delicate sensations of boiled milk and fresh grass, this cheese takes its characteristic red and orange tones by washing the rind with Annatto during the aging process. Annato is a natural vegetable coloring used for centuries to color and protect cheese surfaces. $31.99/lb
Wine of the Week
Lutum Durell Chardonnay ’14
“Starting with the two Chardonnays from the Sonoma Coast AVA, the 2014 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard is a flat out gorgeous beauty that has classic notes of cream corn, apple blossom and sautéed lemons. Rich, textured, impeccably balanced and long, it will drink well for a decade or more. This 2014 spent 12 months in 30% new French oak, and there are a little over 1,000 cases.” 94 Pts Wine Advocate $55.99/btl
