Cheese Board

Cabra Al Gofio Using a traditional method of coating the rind in toasted corn flour (gofio), this goat’s milk cheese is striking in appearance and super approachable. Pleasantly milky and mild with subtle hints of roasted cornmeal and a unique sweetness to the finish. $22.99/lb
Rogue River Smokey Blue Our second award winning cheese from Rogue Creamery. This complex aged blue is smoked overnight with Oregon grown hazelnut shells creating an earthy flavor with a bite. $35.00/lb
Wine of the Week
Chateau Franc-Mayne ’15 “The 2015 Franc-Mayne has a refined and detailed bouquet with blackberry, raspberry coulis and a touch of cedar emerging from the glass. This is a classy bouquet in the making. The palate is fresh and vibrant with succulent red berry fruit overlaying a fine lattice of tannin. Precise, focused and elegant without compromising the fruit, this is perhaps the best wine that I have tasted from this estate. Bravo!” (93-95Pts) Wine Advocate $54.50/btl
