| OUR CHEESE & WINE | |
|---|---|
| PAIRING PROMOTION Price: $14.00 | |
ROQUEFORT Often proclaimed the "king of cheese" this creamy
white, blue-veined cheese is made from raw sheep's
milk produced in southwestern France.
It is aged in the limestone caverns near the village
of Roquefort.
| |
| MUSCAT DE BEAUMES DE VENISE The strong tasting Roquefort pairs wonderfully with the contrasting delicate, syrupy sweetness of wines produced from late-picked grapes such as our Muscat from the Rhone Valley. This golden colored wine has a nose of carmel, pear & raisins. On the palate there are hints of honey & spice. | |
