Cheese Board
Point Reyes Tomarashi The buttery, creamy, grassy farmstead cheese you know and love, but with the addition of the delicious Japanese spice blend Togarashi. You’ll enjoy flakes of nori, toasted sesame, poppy seeds, chili flakes, and umami-rich ginger. $28.00/lb
Fleur du Maquis Meaning “flower of the maquis”, this Corsican cheese is made from the milk of the Lacaune ewes. It is also known by its other name: Brin d’Amour. This semi-soft cheese has a creamy, firm and moist textured paste, which is covered by a natural flavored rind. $29.99/lb
Le Chartreux Raw cow’s milk cheese with its pretty rind and the color of its paste going from ivory to yellow, Le Chartreux offers a fondant texture and a very fruity taste that lingers on the palate. Milk from Swiss cows is aged in a French castle. Best of both! $22.99/lb
Wine of the Week
Ducru-Beaucaillou 2006 Magnum
“Very perfumed and beautiful, showing blackberry and raspberry aromas, with hints of vanilla. Deep and complex. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, powerful finish. Excellent for the vintage. Best after 2015.”
