Friday Winedown at TTG

January and everyone is trying to watch their waist so I thought I’d focus on goat cheese today since it’s generally a little lower in fat and calories.   

California’s Cypress Grove is justly famous for their goat cheese.  Humboldt Fog has been winning awards since 1998.  It features a ribbon of vegetable ash, is creamy and a little tangy.   We’ll try a Sauvignon Blanc with it.  The Truffle Tremor is for those who really like earthy flavours.  I’m going out on a limb and having a Cabernet Franc with it. 

And for those who can’t stand goat cheese we have a Spanish Manchego and from Quebec’s Fromagerie de L’Abbaye Saint-Benoit, the only Benedictine Abbey in North America making cheese, we are trying Frere Jacques, a firm cow cheese with a distinct hazelnut aroma and flavour. 

Happy Friday.
