Happy Holidays to you!

Vermont in the winter….I love it.  After twenty years in Puerto Rico, I am thrilled every time I see giant, fluffy snowflakes.  Recently I was outside at 7:oo in the morning trying to get a great photo with my phone of the falling snow to send to my sister.   She, the smart-aleck, focused on the fact that I was outside at 7:00 a.m…….I was like…”what do you mean!  She laughed….I sighed….sisters!!!   She is just wishing she were here for the snow and  Mark’s cooking.

Speaking of….we have a new special appetizer that makes my mouth water.  He has added a Goat Cheese Soufflé, drizzled with Lavender Honey and served with warm toast.  For pity’s sake…how does he think of these?  I could warm up to this paired with a glass of Grunner Veltliner….. and I bet you could too.

Enjoy your Holidays with friends and family!

It is official, there is snow on the ground and winter is here.

I do so love my winter warm drinks and when you come in out of the cold it makes you cozy and warm all the way down to your toes.  So…is it no wonder that I am making mulled honey wine?   Yes….we put it on yesterday and then we all tried it….and….LOVED IT!!!

After you take off your gloves, hat and scarf …ask about our mulled wine.

We are so excited about this amazing cheese that Mark just got in.  It is from Thistle Hill Farm and is a raw milk, farmstead organic cheese.  Mark is making a new appetizer with roasted red potatoes over a wild mushroom ragout….then….you guessed it….he is topping it with this sharp, tangy, delicious cheese.  Oh yes….all melty.  Ok…I don’t even care if that is not a real word (sorry Mom)…..it is SO melty.

This cheese is so good with so many wines that instead of pairing it up….I just did a tasting.  Love my job.

See you soon,

Melody

It really is one of those days when you want to warm up to a steaming, cheesy bowl of Mark’s onion soup.

A little of a North Coast Cuvee and some warm flatbread and you are going to be so happy……I was.

Come in for the soup,
