cheeseCheese of the Month

Parrano from Holland   


Parrano CheeseParrano, an aged Gouda-style Dutch cheese, has enjoyed double-digit sales growth in the United States every year for the past decade. That's impressive and perhaps an indication of the kind of cheese that appeals to Americans. Parrano is made from pasteurized cow's milk. It has a smooth texture and is full of flavor. Cabernet Sauvignon will pair well with this cheese. Enjoy Parrano as a dessert cheese, with some toasted hazelnuts and a glass of Sercial or Verdelho Madeira.
 

Regular: $21.95 /lb

Special: $13.95 /lb

Ferrari Carano 2009 ChardonnayFerrari Carano, 2009 Sonoma County Chardonnay

 

The 2009 Ferrari Carano Chardonnay delights with aromas of apple, a hint of graham cracker, floral notes, and honey, perfectly balanced by flavors of lemon and pear on the entry and lingering toasted oak notes. A fine choice for roasted or grilled chicken.

 

Regular $19.99

SALE $16.99

 

 

 

Ferrari Carano 2008 CabernetFerrari Carano, 2008 Sonoma County Merlot

 

Ferrari Carano's 2008 Merlot is a velvety wine with a complex nose of blackberry, caramel, and vanilla intricately woven with lingering flavors of baked berry pie, cinnamon and spice. This wine has a viscous and full-mouth feel, impressive length and velvety tannins. This hearty wine will be great with all grilled meats, especially short ribs.

 

Regular $19.99
