Wine Tasting This Friday | 1–4 PM

If you need an excuse to slow down, sip something special, and snack on really great cheese, this is it.

This Friday, December 19th from 1–4pm, we’re hosting a free in-shop wine tasting built around three pairings we’re genuinely excited about. Thoughtful, classic, and deeply satisfying combinations that shine without trying too hard.

Here’s what we’ll be pouring and pairing:

Colston Bassett Stilton paired with Venica & Venica Merlot, Friuli, Italy 2021
A cooler-climate Merlot that feels tailor-made for Stilton. Blue and violet fruit up front, followed by savory notes like rhubarb, pink peppercorn, and tomato leaf. The tannins are integrated, the acidity keeps everything lively, and the whole pairing lands rich but balanced.

Pecorino Tartufo paired with Ca’ del Baio Barbaresco “Autinbej” 2022
Truffles and Nebbiolo are best friends, and Pecorino makes the trifecta complete. This Barbaresco is a longtime favorite around here. Playful enough not to overpower the cheese, structured enough to stand up to meat dishes or age gracefully in the cellar if you can resist opening another bottle.

1655 Gruyère paired with Muri Gries Gewürztraminer, Alto Adige, Italy 2024
One of those pairings that just works. Aromatic and lifted, with flowers, orchard fruit, spice, and bright acidity that cuts beautifully through a matured alpine cheese. If you love Gruyère, this is the bottle that makes it sing.

The tasting is free and casual. Come by for a quick sip or stay awhile and talk cheese. No reservations needed.

See you Friday,

Hi Friends!

Thanksgiving week is here, and before the cooking, hosting, and traveling kick into high gear, we thought we’d make things a little more fun. Our last wine tasting had such an incredible turnout that we decided to run it back—this time with pairings perfect for the holiday table.

Join us Tuesday, November 25th from 1pm to 4pm for a relaxed, drop-in wine and cheese tasting at the shop. It is free, festive, and full of good ideas for anyone building a Thanksgiving board or looking for the right bottle to bring to dinner.

We're pouring three beautiful wines, each matched with a cheese that deserves a spot in your holiday lineup:

• Rogue River Blue + Charles Hours “Clos Uroulat” Jurançon 2020
A legendary blue paired with a honeyed, aromatic Jurançon. This is one of those pairings that feels like magic.

• Delice de Bourgogne + Domaine St. Cyr “Robert” Chénas 2023
A silky triple-cream meets one of our favorite Beaujolais of the year. Lively, balanced, and ideal for Thanksgiving dinner.

• OG Kristal + Hermann J. Wiemer Cuvée Brut 2019
A nutty, crystalline alpine-style cheese alongside a methode traditionelle sparkler from the Finger Lakes. Champagne energy without the Champagne price.

We’ll have all the bottles available to take home, along with all of the cheeses.

Fun things back in stock this week:
• Goldie Gouda — back for the first time in nearly a year
• Epoisses - the French legend is back and should be perfectly ripe for the holiday!
• OG Kristal — finally restocked your favorite!
• Belper Knolle — fresh batch in, perfect for cooking or shaving over warm dishes

If you’re hosting, traveling, gifting, or simply snacking your way through the week, we’d love to help you pick out the right cheeses and wines.

See you Tuesday,

Meet Ossau Iraty - It’s buttery, nutty, and smells like mountain air.

We like it with a little cherry jam and an earthy Pinot Noir.

Last October, we were closed all month after Hurricane Helene. This October, we were up month over month — and it’s all thanks to you. Grateful to be back in the flow 🧀💛
