Cheese Spotlight
Red Witch With the spookiest day of the year just around the corner, we wanted to shed some extra light on a truly spellbinding cheese. Meet:Red Witch.
This raw, cow’s milk gouda from Switzerland was created for the Swiss Carnival season; a pre-Lent celebration that mirrors our Halloween traditions with costumes, games, etc. Red Witch was created as a “table cheese” of sorts- to be enjoyed by all ages and palates (and paired with almost any alcohol one might be indulging in during the festivities).
It’s washed in a brine during the aging process, and periodically rubbed with paprika, adding to its bewitching appearance. It’s quite aromatic, with notes of peanut, hazelnut, and browned butter. Flavor-wise, imagine Appenzeller and Fontina had a baby…it’s so delightful you’ll have to keep the trick-or-treaters away!

Wine of the Week
Domaine Durand Cornas ’18
“The 2018 Cornas Premices comes from the brothers’ young vines, but it is a concentrated, stony example in its own right. Dark in hue, it offers up scents of red plums and crushed stone, plus subtle herb and floral shadings. Medium to full-bodied, with a silky texture and a refreshing hit of licorice on the lengthy finish, it’s approachable now, yet should drink well for at least 5-6 years.”

Kyocera This is the perfect time of year to practice your knife skills. We have recently re-stocked all of our KYOCERA ceramic knives. They truly take all of the headache out of meal prep. Slicing, dicing, peeling, chopping are so much faster with Kyocera. The blade can be fabricated much thinner than a traditional steel forged knife. They are light weight and easy on your wrist, when you needs loads of potatoes cut for that big crowd coming for Thanksgiving. Come take a look and we will show you our faves…

We love everything about Geometry towels – not only do their eye-catching designs look fabulous in your home, but they clean like a dream. Made from post-consumer recycled materials, Geometry’s trademarked Geoweave technology produces a towel that can absorb more spills – 7x its weight in liquid – and dry faster than regular kitchen towels. The Geometry Kitchen Towel is a generous 18″x30″ and available now for $19.00.
Bella Cucina Artichoke Lemon Pesto is a pantry classic. It combines artichoke hearts at their peak with the richness of olive oil and Parmesan cheese. Great as is or even better as an additive, this pesto can be used to add an Italian flair to your favorite dishes like lasagna, pizza, and antipasti or swirl into sauces for chicken, pasta, or lamb to enhance overall flavor. Let your taste buds take you on an Italian journey as you savor this delicacy. Transform a simple piece of bread into a masterpiece with a slather. Bella Cucina is a winner of the “Outstanding Product Line” at the International Fancy Food Show and was also featured on Oprah’s “Favorite Things” and the “O” list. TGS is now stocking the “Grande” size – just the thing for a wonderful hostess gift.
