Featured Pairings & Events

• Dinner: Stuffed Mussels | Sopa de Ajo con Ojo de Tiburón One Block West
• Cheese: Garrotxa (Milk: Goat, Origin: Catalonia) has a white interior with a very creamy texture that is surrounded by a natural mold rind. It has an unusual but mild flavor with a light acidity and a hint of hazelnuts. It melts very smoothly, but equally superb if eaten straight. Sure to become a new Spanish favorite, and an excellent companion to this Albariño. Cheesetique
