The Wither’s Peter’s Vineyard Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast | 2014

Peters Vineyard, planted between 1991 and 1996 on land previously home to an apple orchard, is located just southwest of Sebastopol, not far from the Pacific. Morning fog and ocean breezes through the Petaluma Gap contribute significantly to the character of the fruit.

Elouan Oregon Pinot Noir by Copper Cane
Oregon | 2014
California winemaker Joe Wagner (Belle Glos, son of Caymus winemaker) ventured up to Oregon, one of the world’s renowned Pinot Noir regions with the goal of producing Pinot Noir with depth of flavor, vibrancy and suppleness.  For this wine they brought together fruit from three regions along Oregon’s coast: Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue Valleys, which harmonize beautifully when blended together. The diversity of these cool climate areas combined with an elongated growing season creates wine with intense structure, while maintaining a vibrant acidity that differentiates it from Pinot Noirs from other regions.

Walter Stewart’s Cheese Pairing:

Cato Corner Bridgid’s Abbey *Local CT*
(Cato Corner Farm, Colchester, CT)

Made from a traditional Belgian recipe, this Trappist-style monastery cheese is medium mild, smooth and creamy, with a round flavor and slight truffle aroma. Made from raw Jersey Cows’ milk, aged 2-3 months.

Piedmont, Italy | 2011

The Barolo Castiglione deftly balances the open, radiant personality of the vintage with considerable underlying structure.

The grapes are selected from vineyards located in Castiglione Falletto, Monforte, Barolo and Novello where the vines are planted an average of 4.800 vines per hectare.

Walter Stewart’s Cheese Pairing:
