The Taste of Europe offering will include two imported cheeses and Delirium Belgian Ale for $23. The imported cheeses are Raclette and Epoisses de Bourgogne, a soft cow’s milk cheese produced in a village named Époisses, France. This particular dairy creation takes six weeks to fully mature, emitting a soft red-orange color. It delivers a powerful mixture of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors. Raclette is a semi-hard cheese with a creamy texture and distinctive pleasant aroma. The flavor can be described as nutty and milky. Lastly, the Taste of California package contains California Toma PT. Reyes cheese, Marinated Laura Chanel Goat cheese, and a glass of Arrowhead Cabernet Sauvignon for $25. California Toma PT. Reyes is made in California and has a buttery flavor with a grassy tang at the end. Hand-crafted in Sonoma County, Marinated Laura Chanel Goat cheese is marinated with parsley, thyme, and rosemary. These unique flavors are sure to expose individuals to a new appreciation for both domestic and imported cheeses. In addition, for those that choose to have dinner with us, Chef Clawson will be offering a special of Raclette Cheese Fondue for the evening for $16.
