Cheese Board
L’Adarre Reserve A mixed sheep-goat wheel from the Basque region. It starts off with a little fruity sweetness on the front palate, offers buttery overtones mid-taste, and finishes with a velvety mouthfeel and a lovely nuttiness. $28.99/lb
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 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 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 wine for about 30 days.

Wine of the Week
Chateau La Cabanne ’15
“The 2015 La Cabanne is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Proprietor François Estager told me that this was the first vintage were he has not used any sulfur (one of a few that are moving in that direction). Tasted on three occasions, the nose is offers brambly black fruit mixed with wild hedgerow and cold stone, certainly more sophisticated than recent vintages, with impressive purity. The palate is built upon fine grain tannin, well-judged acidity, and is nicely proportioned with the fruit, given lift by the new oak on the finish. I suspect that the aromatics were just having an off day; given the performance of the palate and knowing how fine this Pomerol can be, it should turn into a delicious, perhaps relatively approachable Pomerol that will give a couple decades of pleasure.”
