March Wine Club!

This month we are transporting you to the Mediterranean! As the temperature is starting to rise what better time to celebrate the Mediterraneans rich and warm history. Fun fact: “Drinking to one’s health” came from ancient Greece. The host of dinner would take the first sip to assure his guests the wine was not poisoned. Barsha wines are definitely not poison but they are crisp clean and minerally.

Nerelle Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio
Sicily, Italy

Sicily’s Mount Etna has an ancient winemaking culture, sharing Barolo’s tradition of long aging in massive old botti. Medium-bodied, dry. Starts with a lovely nose of baked cherry, Christmas spice, and orange peel, followed by coffee, smoked meat, and dusty red fruit on the palate. The gripping finish is still fresh and vibrant with plenty complexity. Pair with grilled meats, nightshade vegetables, and pasta Puttanesca.

Cherchi Tuvaoes 2016
Vermentino
Sardegna, Italy

Intense pale yellow color with greenish hues. Good intensity and persistence with floral and vegetal scents. Notes of grass, wildflowers and tomato leaf. The acidity gives its strength and freshness; it is also warm and soft, thanks to its consistent structure. The finish is an aromatic pleasure with persistent floral notes. Due to its characteristics it can be enjoyed in a few years after the harvest.

Angoris 2015
Schioppettino
Liguria, Italy

The varietal is named after the Italian word schioppettata or ‘gun shot’ which is said to refer to the popping noise it makes during fermentation -- as well as how the flavors seem to pop burst on the palate. Notes of luscious raspberry, blackberry and pepper notes with a medium body and clean finish. This wine is very versatile and finds friends wherever it goes. The varietal was almost wiped out in the 19th century by phylloxera and wine growers replanted the area with more fertile and international varietals.

 March Cheese & Charcuterie Club!

Back are the days of baguettes with cheese club! This month Cheese Club members will enjoy the unique delicacy that is Sage Derby Cheese-an authentical British cheese has caught the fancy of many dignitaries throughout the centuries. The cheese is infused with chlorophyll to add a wonderful touch for your St. Patties Day celebrations. Bussetto Prosciutto is quintessentially perfect for any meal or pairing.
Sage Derby Cheese

Sage Derby is a cheddar type gourmet cheese made using leaf sage for flavor, and colored using chlorophyll (plant coloring) to give a green marbled finish. The finely chopped sage leaf gives a subtle extra flavor. Sage Derby is matured for around 12 weeks as per mild cheddar.
In the 17th century, the custom of adding sage to Derby cheese began. Sage was valued for its health-giving properties; it was good for the digestion and thus Sage Derby was born. Sage Derby was originally consumed at the harvest time and Christmas.
Sage Derby, one of the oldest British gourmet cheeses and one of the original additives cheeses; is unique with the sage being added during the manufacturing process and not at a later stage. Certainly an interesting and colorful addition to any festive cheese board of buffet.

Bussetto Prosciutto

This Italian-style ham is made from choice pork legs, slowly cured and air-dried over time. Prosciutto is known for its tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that pairs well with many different foods.
