Cheese Board
Cypress Grove Purple Haze Subtly sweet with the tangy brightness of fresh goat cheese. The distinct and unexpected marriage of lavender and hand-harvested fennel pollen makes Purple Haze® utterly addictive – and unforgettable.
Snow Camp Perfect for summer whites and roses. From the Goat Lady Dairy in NC. Named after one of the first settlements in central North Carolina, Snow Camp is a mixed cow and goat milk bloomy rind cheese. Released at only two weeks, the cheese has lush cream-like and butter flavors that deepen as the cheese ripens.
Wine of the Week
Chateau Fleur Cardinale ’18
“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Fleur Cardinale—composed of 74% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon—leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of wild blueberries, crushed blackberries and ripe, juicy plums, plus hints of sandalwood, unsmoked cigars, menthol and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of ripe black and blue fruits, framed by velvety tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing long with lots of mineral and exotic spice layers. A very stylish Saint-Émilion!”
