Food
Arnaud Lambert Cremant Rose, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sparkling, Saumur, Loire Valley, Fr, Y, Delicious; clean, fresh and pure with balanced red fruit, fine minerality and long in the mouth
Foie Gras with Truffles
Very decadent, creamy, and delicious. From D’Artagnan.
Bodegas Zarate, Albarino, Crisp White, Rias Baixas, Galicia, Spain, 12.5%, 2017, Y, Nicely balanced with notes of wet hay & salinity from the sea & lively fruit; zippy,
Tonato Sauce
A traditional dish from Piedmont, Italy. Tuna, anchovies, oil…
Arnaud Lambert Saumur les Perrieres, Chenin Blanc, Rich White, Saumur, Loire Valley, Fr, 2017, Y, A pretty bouquet, notes of white fruit with complex & layered flavors that open up in the glass, fresh with nice acidity
Chabichou
A cute, dense, tiny goat’s milk cheese from the Loire. So good.
Eva Fricke, Verde Riesling, Soft White, Rheingau, Germany, 11.0%, 2017, Y. Harvested early for lightness & freshness; the winemaker loves Vino Verde, so this is her take on it for a German Riesling; balanced & zippy with a note of lime; a fine & pure wine.
Chabichou with Hot Pepper Jam
To bridge to the Riesling, we are adding a little bit heat with the hot pepper jam from Sidehill Farm.
Arnaud Lambert Champigny Montee des Roches, Cabernert Franc, Fresh Red, Saumur, Loire Valley, Fr, 2015, Y, Powerful bouquet, elegant, complex and full. This continues in the mouth, with nice red fruit, balanced acidity and tannins. Fresh and long
St. Nectaire
A washed-rind, pasteurized cow’s milk cheese. Silky texture and hints of hazelnuts and mushrooms.
Celler del Roure, Safra Mandó and Garnacha, Smooth Red, Valencia, Spain, 2015, Y, Spanish for saffron, safra is a blend of Mandó, the principal indigenous grape of this part of Valencia, with a bit of Garnacha Tintorera. This wine shows a brightness of fruit and a forthright & alluringly authenticity.
Serano ham, dates & marcona almonds
A classic Spanish tapas and so easy.
Rafael et Fils Oak Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon, Bold Red, Napa, CA, 2014, Y, Classic aromas of blackberry, cedar, black currant & licorice are initially expressed. With time in the glass, complex notes of blueberry, dark chocolate, plum, black tea & cherry are also revealed. The wine has a rich, elegant structure. The experience is capped off by rich, smooth long finish.
Barely Buzzed
From Iowa, a wonderful cheddar-like cheese is covered with deep Espresso and just the right touch of lavender.
