This Month’s Featured Lineup:

The White Wine Board

Featuring our Gewürztraminer & VCR

The Pairing: Creamy Goat Cheese (Chevre), Nutty BellaVitano, Fresh Cantaloupe, and Savory Prosciutto.

• Gewürztraminer: An aromatic powerhouse delivering delicate notes of rose petals, lychee, and tropical fruit. Its bright citrus flair provides a refreshing counterpoint to the herbaceous, earthy notes of the Chevre and the rich, fruity profile of the BellaVitano.
• VCR (Viognier-Chardonnay-Riesling): This delightful trio highlights the floral apricot notes of Viognier, the crisp minerality of Riesling, and the tropical soul of Chardonnay. With a balanced fruitiness and a whisper of vanilla, it is the ultimate companion to the sweetness of fresh cantaloupe.

The Red Wine Board

Featuring our Malbec & Swamp Juice

The Pairing: Fresh Mozzarella, Farmer’s Cheese, Vine-Ripened Tomatoes, and a Selection of Italian Deli Meats.

• Malbec: Sleek, focused, and seductively deep red. Expect bold aromas of crushed blackberries and vanilla that lead into a surprisingly light, elegant finish. When enjoyed with fresh, creamy cheeses, the deli meats act as a bridge, pulling out the wine’s earthy undertones and soft oak notes.
• Swamp Juice: Don’t let the name fool you—this is our signature "New World" blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It’s a fruit-forward, easy-drinking red bursting with black cherry and wild berry flavors. Look for the sophisticated hints of dark chocolate and coffee on the finish; the fresh cheese keeps the fruit vibrant, while the savory meats highlight those rich, cocoa-roasted notes.

The Dessert Board

Featuring "Grande Finale" & Peachy Weather

The Pairing: Warm Baked Ricotta and Seasonal Fresh Fruit.

• Grande Finale (White Dessert Wine): A rich, "ice-style" wine with perfectly balanced sweetness. Loaded with concentrated flavors of honeyed apricot and golden peach, it’s a powerhouse of flavor. The baked ricotta provides a savory, velvety base that cuts through the wine’s intensity, letting the bright fruit notes truly sing.
• Peachy Weather: This Moscato blend explodes with the scent of sun-ripened peaches. The natural sweetness of the fruit highlights the honeyed notes of the ricotta, creating a sensation on the palate that feels remarkably like a slice of light, airy cheesecake.
