Wonderful with a glass of wine and to share with a friend or two, our cheese plates change often so that we can offer you something fresh, creative and delicious every time.

Current Selection
Ron's Pick

Delice de Bourgogne is a triple cream made with French cow's milk from the Burgundy region of France. This decadent cheese is rich and creamy with a buttery sweetness that melts in your mouth.

Balarina is a toffee colored goat gouda from the Netherlands that has a crunchy texture that is nutty and delicious with hints of browned butter and caramel.

Evora is a rindless Portuguese cheese made with raw merino sheep's milk and cardoon thistle. It is interestingly floral and fruity with a nice tanginess on the finish.

Verde Capra is a wonderful blending of soft, creamy blue cheese and slightly tangy, gamey goat milk from northern Italy. A version of a gorgonzola dolce, with a nice fruitiness and a little bite on the finish.

The cheeses are accompanied by prosciutto, freshly sliced bread or gourmet crackers, nuts, olives, and locally made fruit spreads. $12

A Salute to Excellence

That handsome guy sporting his Saints black and gold is our very own Ron Dietrich at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago last month. While he was there hobnobbing and networking, he received a "Salute to Excellence" award that recognizes and celebrates the future leaders of the industry. Ron will be graduating this fall from the University of New Orleans with a Business degree in the Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism program where he also served as student president of the Louisiana Restaurant Association. We're really proud of him and his achievements so congratulate him next time you see him in the shop!

And besides helping me with the wine buying, managing the bar and all of the other demanding duties that come with being the only guy in the shop, Ron's new unofficial title is the "cheese guy" with his first responsibility being that of selecting and designing our new cheese plate. So, check out this month's "Ron's Pick" featuring 4 new cheeses with some great accoutrements!
