2008 is almost here
(time to turn over a new cheese)
Out with the old, and in with the new ...and tasty! Here's to a year of discovering your new favorite artisanal cheeses. And whether you're spending new Year's Eve in your tux or in your PJ's, we have the bubbly, Brie and chocolates to make your evening memorable. Cheers!
You'll find the classic celebratory sovereign Veuve Clicquot at Quel Fromage. We are currently stocking the Demi-sec, Rosé & Le Grande Dame in addition to the classic yellow label in full or split size. Need a little Clicquot on the go? We also have chilled bottles available for you to grab on the way to the festivities.
New and fantastic sparklers are the Mirabelle Brut, $18 and Mirabelle Rose, $21. We are especially loving the festive and fruity Rosé right now.
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year!

Capriole Farmstead Goat Cheeses
Handmade beauties from Greenville, Indiana
O'Banon While Banon has been made for centuries in the Haute Provence, Steve Jenkins made the Capriole version popular when he wrote in his Cheese Primer that Capriole's "is much, much better than any I've tasted in France." Traditionally, the chestnut leaves used to wrap the cheese are soaked in eau de vie. Capriole uses Woodford Reserve Bourbon. The tannins in the leaves and the bourbon combine to give this creamy, dense cheese just a nuance of a kick! The new name? It's inspired by their long time friend, Frank O'Bannon, the late former governer of Indiana.
Chevre Hearts w/peppercorn Fresh and creamy little heart shaped cheeses topped with cracked red peppercorns.
Chocolate-Bourbon Hearts Fresh goat cheese with melted Callebaut chocolate, toasted pecans,and raisins soaked in Woodford Reserve Bourbon. The heart shaped result is a not-too-sweet and not-too-heavy but definitely alcoholic dessert which pairs beautifully with nut breads, dried fruits, and fortified wines or bourbon. |
