Wines of the Month:

Twelfth Night – wines from Vela Wines of Central Otago on the southern island of New Zealand.  This is the world’s southernmost location for wine production.  This unique climate provides the region with ideal growing conditions with varied glacial soils and abundant sunshine which allows grapes to ripen with a high level of sugar while retaining a bracing level of acidity and giving the wines a purity reflective of the terroir and clear mountain air.

Twelfth Night Riesling (87 Points Wine Spectator)

Winemaker Notes:  This 2013 wine is intense and complex on the nose with notes of citrus, lemon zest, white flowers and lime tree.  Mostly dry on the palate, the Riesling has bright acidity with mandarin and orange marmalade and minerally flavors.  The refreshing acidity and dry, lingering finish provide excellent structure and length.

Twelfth Night Pinot Noir (89 Points Wine Spectator)

Winemaker Notes:  The 2012 Pinot Noir has a lovely dark ruby color and an intense nose of plum and blueberry blended with savory notes of forest floor and Central Otago’s spicy trademark – black pepper and licorice. On the palate, the wine is a very textured, medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir displaying aromas of strawberry, blackcurrant and lifted by sweet notes of vanilla and cinnamon. The tannin structure is generous and soft leading to a long, smooth finish.

Pasta of the Month:

Goat Cheese, Cranberry, and Walnut Ravioli – A perfect accompaniment to your favorite fall dinner.  Available in our freezer case.

Package of 12            $7.95

 

Cheese of the Month:

Wensleydale with Cranberries

The only true Wensleydale cheese in the world comes from the milk drawn from cows that graze the sweet limestone pastures on farms in Upper Wensleydale, England. The cheese was first made there during the Norman invasion, when French monks from the Roquefort region were brought over to practice their cheese-making skills. The Wensleydale pastures give the cheese the unique, refreshing flavor for which it is renowned. The cheese is a fresh, young cheese taken at only three weeks old. It has a clean, mild, slightly sweet flavor with a honeyed aftertaste. The superb texture of fresh Wensleydale is perfectly complemented by the addition of all natural cranberries of the finest quality. Wensleydale with Cranberries is an innovative blend of flavors and a superb visual experience.

                   November Special @ $12.95/lb.
