Fresh Brebis/Spring Floral Wine Tasting/Book Release

April 11, 2019

Black Sheep Fresh Brebis
It’s that time of year again! The daffodils are in full bloom, the birds are chirping, and lambing season has come to an end. This means our favorite local sheep’s milk cheese is back in stock! Black Sheep Creamery’s Fresh Brebis is only available for a few months each year and we’re excited to start adding it to our favorite dishes. This fresh and fluffy cheese is the perfect addition to your favorite spring salads, use it in pasta or try baking with it! It’s also amazing simply spread on toast with a drizzle of honey or olive oil and sprinkling of fresh herbs. We hope you can come down to the shop and try a taste of this simply delicious farmstead cheese!

 

Spring Floral Wine Tasting
 
Elliot Karpman of PDX Wines will be pouring for us this week. Elliot has selected four beautiful floral spring wines to share with us. We’ll be tasting wines from Italy, France, and Portugal.
Here’s this week’s lineup:
Tenuta Castellaro, Bianco Porticello, 2017, Sicily, Italy
An organic white wine made from a blend of 60% Carricante and 40% Moscato Bianco.The blend creates an elegant wine with notes of grapefruit and lemon curd with a salty finish. This wine will pair perfectly with seafood or with fresh cheeses.
Chateau Coupe Roses, Rosé Fremillant, 2017, Minervois, France
From the Minervois region in western Languedoc, Rosé Fremillant is made from a blend of the region’s traditional grapes, Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault. This rose is a vibrant pink color and has notes of ripe strawberries and apricots.
Gota Wines, Prunus Private Selection, 2015, Dao,Portugal
This red is made of a blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Jaen, and Alfrocheiro Preto. All the grapes are grown on granite and clay soils. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel and aged for six months in barrel. A delicate spiciness is balanced with notes of black cherry and raspberry and a crisp acid.
Terres Dorées FRV100, 2017, Beaujolais, France

Terres Dorées is located in Charnay, in southern Beaujolais. “FRV100” is a play on the word “effervescent,” and is a playful reference to the off-dry, sparkling rosé. The wine is made from estate-farmed, organic Gamay using the method ancestrale, which allows fermentation to finish in the bottle. The resulting wine is a lovely, light-bodied, with notes of strawberries. Pair with an Italian robiola or fresh chevre.

We hope you can join us!

CHEESE BEER WINE CIDER: 
A Field Guide to 75 Perfect Pairings

By Steve Jones & Adam Lindsley 

We are extremely proud and excited to announce the upcoming release of Steve Jones & Adam Lindsley’s new book, CHEESE BEER WINE CIDER: A Field Guide to 75 Perfect Pairings. As the title suggests, it’s all about taking a great cheese and finding the very best beer, cider, or wine to drink with it. You may be surprised by the results! Along the way, you’ll learn about goats, cheese crystals, cider apples, and a smattering of other fun topics related to the stuff you’ll be eating. Steve and Adam spent the last three years eating gobs of cheese and drinking gallons of alcohol (“research,” you see) to ensure only the very best pairings make it to your cheese plates.
Their new book is available now! Order on Amazon.com by following this LINK or come pick up a copy at Cheese Bar or one of the following book signings.
Upcoming  book signings:
  • Tuesday, April 2nd at Belmont Station, 5 to 7 p.m.
