January doldrums gotcha down?
Yearning for warmer waters, say the Mediterranean in summer perhaps??
Fret not friends, join Justin tomorrow (4-6pm) transport yourself to sunny, coastal Liguria with this week’s Wine & Cheese combo!!
We bring you not one, but TWO stunning wines this week. To start the Cantina Boriassi, “Linàro”, Coli di Luni Vermentino. Lush & lively with hints of peach and sea salt, she invokes vernal farmers markets. To follow we have Selvadolce’s “Crescendo”, Pigato! A star on our shelves she gleams with notes of cucumber, pineapple, light florality with balanced, creamy texture and zippy acidity. A stroll down the Ligurian seaside.
On the snacking side we bring one of our most irresistible Italian cheeses, Cremolo di Bufala! Ooey, gooey and oh so creamy this soft ripened Buffalo milk cheese is always a winner! Pairing perfectly with zippy and bright wines, the cheese works so well with various flavors. Finally, no “trip” to Liguria would be complete without Pesto Genoese. This traditional condimento is universally loved, but finding the real thing outside of Italy can be tricky. We’ve been lucky to work with and import one of the best, Rossi 1947 FRESH pesto. Never heated, this is the true expression of a Genoese summer! We’re sure you’ll fall head over heels for it!
So what are you waiting for? Come leave your hearts in Portofino without leaving our little Cambridge shop!
