Wine and Cheese Menu for Saturday February 4th and Sunday February 5th, 2012:

2009 No Oak Chardonnay
Mango Ginger White Stilton

Cow’s milk drawn from the herds that graze in the sweet limestone pastures of Wensleydale England.

Creamy as butter with chewy pieces of mango and spicy ginger.

The  fruit infused  paste pairs perfectly with our natural, pure No Oak Chardonnay.

2009 Chardonnay
Vella Jack

Handcrafted artisan cheese made from milk about three miles down the road from their historic Sonoma stone landmark building.

The “original” style was said to be made by missionaries in the Spanish territories during the 19th century by David Jack of Monterrey.  A sturdy rind rubbed with pepper, oil and unsweetened cocoa.  This is definitely not to be confused with grocery store “Jack” !

Aged seven months, dry and snappy, with hints of caramel and sweetness, it should pair perfectly with our oaked Chardonnay.

2009 Pinot Noir
Mont d’Or

Cow’s milk, from the Jura region of the Swiss Alps; a tradition since the 12th. century.

A washed rind cheese with a creamy, light yellow paste often eaten with a spoon or even heated in original packaging and served like a fondue.

The woodsy, nutty aroma and flavor pairs perfectly with fruity wine, such as our Pinot.

2008 Syrah  
Sartori Sar Vecchio

Parmigian  style cow’s milk from Antigo Cheese Company in North East Wisconsin. 

Aged two years this offers a sweet yet savory nutty taste that feels much older than its age.

This will certainly stand up to our peppery, Syrah  with all its spice notes.
