WINES
Domaine du Bosc Rosé - France
Pale salmon in colour. A light, fresh and fruity wine, with a traditional dry finish. Bright and sunny in character with crisp acidity. It is especially enjoyable in summer as an aperitif or with pasta, pizza, BBQ or cold meats.
Charles Melton Rose of Virginia Rosé - Australia
This wine is deep fuchsia in colour. Strawberry, rose petal, with a hint of black cherry. Great balance on the palate with tannin and lovely acid zest and crisp and clear finish. It has vibrant red fruits, succulent- bruised plum and pomegranates. Lifted floral nose of violets and rose petals. Suggested pairings of sausages such as chorizo and salami.
La Stellina Merlot Rosato - BC
Wine offers up aromas of ripe strawberries and spiced candy apple with a hint of rose petal. Fresh and full bodied, with strawberry, cinnamon and mineral undertones it provides a long lingering aftertaste that is pleasing on the palate. This wine has more of a sweet, candied aspect than the other two.
CHEESE
Champagnole | Les Fromages Chaput, Chateauguay, Québec | raw goat milk
Champagnole is our firmest and oldest goat cheese. This chèvre is aged from 90-120 days. The scents of its terroir emerge from the raw milk in flavours of mushroom, tangy fresh grass, and soft hay. Champagnole can be grated over pasta or mixed greens, Cerignola or fresh green olives.
Allegretto |Fromagerie La Vache a Maillote, Québec | thermalized sheep milk
The Abitibi region of Quebec where Mr. Lavoie’s sheep graze is a Nordic climate region where the pastures possess higher sugar content. The sheep are fed exclusively on hay and grain, and the terroir of this sweetly nurtured herd is saturated in the cheese’s paste. The cheese is low in salt with a palate of the earth’s greatest bounty. If you have blissful childhood memories of tumbling in hay bales and rolling through meadows, you’ll probably have a sweet tooth for this cheese.
Le Fleurmier de Charlevoix | Laiterie Charlevoix, Baie Saint-Paul Québec | pasteurized cow milk |
A tender white bloomy rind protects the velvety textured, supple cheese paste exhibiting delectable musty mushroom aroma with notes of hazelnut and almond. Extra milk fat and artisan crafting makes this double crème Camembert style cheese truly luscious.
La Bûche | Fromagerie Clément Inc. Saint-Damase Québec | soft ripened goat milk
A beautifully sculpted log of delicate fresh chèvre. The rings of the log radiate unique flavours. The soft and crumbly centre is airy and fresh. It is held by a thin creamy ring of a sharp tangy aged goat that hints of Roquefort blue. Its lacy soft rind is mild and milky, and warms the zingy chill of the fresh goat milk.
