Hacienda Zargon Chardonnay

Winemaker Notes:  100% Chardonnay.  Stainless steel fermentation is followed by 3 months of ageing on the lees, giving the wine richness and mouth-feel.  The 2013 is characterized by fresh apple and peach notes and tropical flavors.

Hacienda Zargon Syrah

Winemaker Notes:  Intense, very deep purple hue.  Powerful on the nose, with red fruit and some herbal notes.  Pleasant and honest.  Smooth and intense on the palate.  Good balance and structure.  Meaty and powerful.  Fantastic with braised meats or Bolognese sauce.

Grafton 2 Year Aged Cheddar

From the Grafton Village Cheese Co. in Vermont. This 2 year award-winning (over one dozen) aged cheddar cheese is an artisanal cheddar handcrafted from premium raw cow’s milk from small Vermont family farms.  With its mellow tartness and creamy finish, this cheese is excellent when accompanied with dried fruits and nuts, crusty breads, and big wines.  Also an excellent compliment for fresh picked apples or apple pie.
