2 Cheeses HARD 4.75 Barber s 1833 English Vintage Cheddar (England). Aged for at least 24 months, this classic cheddar has refined sweet notes to balance the tangy sharpness Bellavitano Espresso (Wisconsin). Rich and creamy texture with a great, cravable taste reminiscent of an aged, premium Wisconsin Cheddar balanced by a full-flavored Parmesan. This Bellavitano is hand-rubbed with freshly roasted espresso, creating a truly unique flavor, somewhere between creamy and rich and crunchy and granular Gouda Lekker (Holland). In English, Lekker translates to delicious and this mature Gouda certainly is! Aged for six months, it has a delicate, full, creamy texture that pairs with darn near everything Mahon Curado D.O. (Spain). From the beautiful Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, this cheese is often referred to as the Spanish cheddar. Incredibly versatile, with a salty crunch, it is simply delicious. 5.5 Manchego DO Valdehierro (Spain) (R). This raw sheep s milk cheese is aged for 12 months, which develops a soft, piquant flavor and a long, nutty aftertaste. Premium! 5.75 Widmer s 4 Year Reserve Cheddar (Wisconsin). This four-year aged cheddar is rich with notes of caramel. While it is aged for a considerable period of time, it is still moist and creamy on the tongue, with a noteworthy tanginess and slightly salty finish. SEMI 5 Asiago Pressato DOP (Italy) (R). This young cheese is made from the fresh, whole milk of the cows grazing in the low-lying Asiago plateau in the Veneto Mountains in northern Italy. Both fruity and grassy, this delicate cheese is named for the pressing during production. 5 Comté Gruyère AOC (France) (R). From the Jura Mountains in eastern France, this pale creamy yellow cheese is made only with unpasteurized summer cow s milk and aged for 14 months, giving it a slightly sweet taste. One of the world s greatest cheeses. 5.5 Drunken Goat DO (Spain). Fernando endorses this cheese! From Murcia in eastern Spain, this sweet, buttery cheese is cured for hours in red wine, leaving the middle nearly pure white, while the rind absorbs a lovely violet hue. Pairs well with medium reds. 6.5 Fontelas San Simón da Costa DOP (Spain). Cow s milk cheese, smoked on Abedul wood Wenzel Smoked Gruyère (Texas). This smooth, rich gruyère is naturally smoked in Hamilton, Texas.

3 SOFT 5.75 Belletoile Brie (France). From the Lorraine region on the German border, the name means beautiful star. This soft-ripened cow s milk triple cream brie is rich, creamy, buttery, and perfect. 6 Cypress Grove Purple Haze (California). The unexpected marriage of lavender and wild fennel pollen distinguishes this chevre, and makes it utterly addictive. BLUE 4.75 Bleu d Auvergne AOC (France). From south central France, this cow s milk blue is slightly tart, salty, sweet, and crumbly. Try this mild blue on an apple slice with a drizzle of honey. 5.5 Moody Blue (Wisconsin). Rich, creamy Moody Blue is delicately smoked over fruit wood to create subtle smoky undertones with hints of roasted nuts and coffee. Beautifully balanced, sultry, and seductive. Meats 6 A Bar N Ranch Wagyu Beef Dry Smoke Sausage (Texas). Wagyu is intensely marbled with softer fat, it has higher percentages of monounsaturated fats, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and is lower in cholesterol than commodity beef. It is not only rich in taste and tenderness, but it is perfectly suitable for a well-balanced and healthy diet. True story-no guilt!! 5 Molinari Salami Toscana (California). Made in the traditional Tuscan style, this tangy pork and beef salami is a crowd pleaser La Bresse Farms Smoked Duck Breast (New York). We thinly slice this rich, smoke-cured delicacy to order. 7 La Quercia Nduja Americana (Iowa). Spicy Prosciutto spread seasoned with organic domestic chile peppers and paprika. Super tasty, but beware, this nduja is HOT!!! 7 Olli Salumeria Tartufo Truffle Salami (New York). This gourmet salame is made from heritage breed pigs, combined with the earthy delight of read truffles and the tart finish of Sangiovese wine. Tartufo lovers will rejoice as the truffle nose here is anything but subtle.

4 5.50 Palacios Chorizo Picante (Spain). Spicy smoked paprika from the La Vera valley in Western Spain is the key flavor to this delicious dry cured sausage. Garlic, pork and salt are the only other ingredients to this all-natural sausage. It is not flaming hot in the sense of Mexican cuisine, but rather, spicy. 9 Prosciutto di Parma (Italy). Only four ingredients are necessary for the production of this dry-cured ham: Italian pigs, sea salt, air, and time. This thinly sliced classic is richly marbled because the producer, Numero Uno, feeds the pigs a special diet of Reggiano whey. 5 Wenzel Lonestar Meat Co. Bison Habanero Cheese Summer Sausage ( Texas). Wooooow! That s all, y all Wenzel Lonestar Meat Co. Pressed Turkey Jerky (Texas). Dry, smoky and showing game meat notes. 5 Wenzel Lonestar Meat Co. Jagerwurst (Texas). This well-herbed smoked German-style sausage bursts with flavor. Salty, Savory, and Sweet Sides 4.5 Castelvetrano Olives (Spain). These bright green gems have a meaty, buttery flesh, with just the right amount of briny saltiness and not a hint of bitterness. 3.5 Cornichons (France). These miniscule sour French pickles are adorable, absolutely delicious, and incredibly versatile. 4.5 Marcona Almonds (Spain). The Queen of Almonds, these soft, sweet almonds are blanched, roasted in olive oil, and sprinkled with sea salt. 2.5 Jammit Jam (Texas). The perfect sweet accompaniment to enhance Brie, Goat, and Blue. Ask for our rotation of flavours: Strawberry Chili Shiraz, Peach Tyhme Prosecco, Cherry Clove Cabernet, and much more!! 2.25 Zip Code Honey (Texas). Try a drizzle with a Blue or nutty cheese.
