Arregi Txakoli de Getaria, 2012, 2012
Txakoli is the vinous choice in bars and restaurants throughout the Basque region. Arregi’s rendition is prototypical Txakoli, produced from the indigenous Hondarribi Zuri grape. Light, crisp, clean, yes, slightly spritzy, and bound to bring a smile to your face. The 2011 vintage has just landed so you can be assured that you are consuming the latest, freshest brightest Txakoli available. We’ll pour this by the glass at Evoe while the supply lasts. Peter scored a handful of escanciadores at the San Sebastian airport so you’ll get the complete show. Don’t have an escanciador? Just ask, or worry not, just pull the bottle back as you pour the wine into your glass for full effect. Perfect with briny creatures, antipasti and/or just a seat in the sun. Aupa! all stores

Correggia Roero Arneis, 2012
The late Matteo Correggia helped put the "left bank" of the Tanaro river in Piedmont on the vinous map.Long overshadowed by the "Langhe" region across the river, home to long lived Barolos and Barbarescos as well as Dolcettos and Barberas, the Roero, as the left bank is called, had an often deserved reputation for slurpable but forgettable wines. Correggia and a handful of other producers believed that the sandy soils of the Roero were capable of more. This Roero Arneis shows that the region deserves its place on the map. Bright, fresh fruit, with hints of almonds. Well suited to fish dishes, appetizers, au gratin vegetables and fresh cheeses. Hawthorne, City Market & Mississippi

Selvapiana Chianti Rufina, 2010
Selvapiana launched Pastaworks pursuit of all (wine) things Italian. A local restaurant welcomed us to the neighborhood with a bottle of 1977 Selvapiana Riserva. We discarded what few wines we had from California (we have added some since) and began our love affair with Italian wines. Much has changed at Selvapiana since that fateful first taste---the riserva bottling is now a single vineyard wine, Bucerchiale---but the quality and consistency of the estate's wines continue. This is till our house Chianti of choice! all stores

Featured Cheese
Abbaye de Belloc
Abbaye de Bel'loc is still made in the traditional manner by Benedictine Monks at the abbey of Notre-Dame de Belloc. A French Pyrenees sheep's milk cheese, Abbaye has a fine, dense texture and is high in fat. The milk comes from the red-nosed Manech ewes (an old local breed) whose milk is brought into the monastery from neighboring farms. Abbaye de Belloc has a true Basque character, and it is believed that many centuries ago the monks from the Belloc Monastery first taught the Basque shepherds how to make cheese. Proper care in the right maturing conditions will accentuate the rich, caramelized flavors that make this cheese so addictive. all stores

Keen's Cheddar
The Keen family have been making cheese at Moorhayes Farm, Wincanton in Somerset since 1898 when the family first moved there. George and Stephen Keen’s great aunt Jane was thir first cheesemaker before cheesemaking passed down the family to their mother Dorothy. Today George makes cheese with his son James while Stephen and son Nick look after the herd. ‘We make just one variety, but we do it really well,’ says Stephen Keen. ‘All the milk comes from our own herd of 250 Friesians, so we can make sure they are well fed and cared for. When customers buy our cheese they know it is made by hand with individual care and matured for at least ten months on wooden shelves before it goes into the stores.’ Smooth and firm textured with long, complex, rich, nutty flavours and a tangy bite at the end. all stores

The natural rind exhibits plentiful white and gray mold, producing a coat that looks like the bark of a birch tree."
