Sisson Parchment These are the fall leaves we’ve missed. Finally – Sisson parchment leaves for cheese boards are being produced again after a long pause – and of course, we have them. Inspired by the French tradition of turning to nature for decoration, these fine parchment paper leaves can be used under cheese, fresh fruits, home-baked breads, or as coasters under glasses and bottles. Fanciful enough to be used in a table decoration, written on, used as place cards, or wherever your imagination leads. Perfect for your fall table.

Cheese Board
Asiago Vecchio A long, slow maturation process creates a cheese with a compact, granular interior full of small holes. After 12 months it resembles honey in color and has a dense consistency. Intense and sharp! $18.00/lb
Truffled Raclette Rain or shine, sleet or sun, they sent the truffle pig out in order to make this beauty…and he always came back with the goods! Pungent earthy, musky, melty goodness awaits. $36.99/lb
Ossau-Iraty AOC protected, unpasteurized sheep’s milk. Has a slightly dry texture that gives way to a creamy, buttery quality, and the flavors hint at a subtle mingling of herbs and fruit, with slightly nutty undertones. $32.99/lb
Wine of the Week
Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Les Champauvins ’16 “Now that it’s in the bottle, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone les Champauvins is looking as good as I predicted last year. It’s a full-bodied, concentrated wine that could mop the floor with many Châteauneufs. Rich black cherry fruit is joined by complex herb and spice notes, a creamy mid-palate and a lingering finish. Worth buying by the case.” 92 Pts Wine Advocate $19.99/btl
