Vino Et Veritas!

That's Latin for "In WIne There is Truth!"

Far be it from us to reiterate what doctors around the country have stated about the health benefits of wine. And, my partners and I were all together again as the wine arrived in the store. We all wanted to be present in the moment it seems, when our cheese met another of it's natural partners - wine!

We are big blue cheese lovers - we just can't seem to have enough in the store. Currently we have six - and we made time to sample our new wines with our blues! A real hit was the Valdeon Blue Cheese paired with Don Pedro Ximenes, a lovely Spanish Sherry that helps that lovely Spanish Blue become a dessert course that will really finish a meal quite nicely.

Another wine that met with rave reviews was the Ruby Throated Cabernet Sauvignon from Clos La Chance. This full bodied red wine with slightly spicy notes was just the counterpoint I was looking for for our earthier blues like Bayley Hazen Blue Cheese from Jasper Hill in Greensboro, VT. Your grilled steak or burgers were never so good!

We have a lovely collection of wines sure to complement your fine cheeses.
