Zero
Alcohol Free Riesling ‘Eins Zwei Zero’ (Leitz)
Sale Price $17.99 – $183.50 case of twelve
Trust us when we say we’ve taken the increasing requests for non-alcoholic wine and beer options seriously. Quality non-alcoholic beers have proven much easier to source, but we’ve finally scored a winner on the wine side in Leitz’ Eins Zwei Zero. This de-alcoholized off-dry Riesling from the respected Rheingau producer has been elusive (see the article in the Sept. 27th issue of The New Yorker for evidence), so we stocked up when we finally had the chance. Whatever your reason for bringing it to the table, its crisp fruit and refreshing minerality will make it a perfect Thanksgiving palate cleanser which everyone can enjoy. We also have a small amount of Leitz’ non-alcoholic sparkling rosé for $23.99.

Rogue River Blue – $43.99 per lb
(Regular Price $48.99)
Rogue River Blue from Rogue Creamery in Oregon is perhaps the most internationally acclaimed American Original to sweep the cheese world in the last several years. Winner of the World Cheese Awards Gold Medal in 2019, this seasonally produced blue cheese has it all. Made with organic pasteurized cow’s milk, the creamy texture mingles with intense blue-mold flavor, and is cut with a well-balanced tartness from the pear liqueur-soaked grape leaves that encompass the wheel. This cheese is entirely unparalleled.

Tomme Grand-Mère with Black Truffle $29.99 per lb
(Regular Price $32.99)
A beautifully ripened goat’s milk cheese from the Loire Valley already sends our taste buds into a flutter. Add to that a generous layer of black summer truffles? Now we’re truly in heaven. The light, tangy flavor of the goat’s milk provides a perfect contrast to the robust and earthy flavor of the truffles. These bold but balanced flavors are complemented by the delicate, rustic flavor of the natural rind. As attractive to the eye as it is to the tongue, this cheese is decadent yet refined, conflicting yet balanced—and completely delicious.

Gentle Giant Salami $44.99 per lb

This limited release from Red Table Meats in Minneapolis is one of the most unique charcuterie items to be featured at the Wine Cask. The meat and fat are entirely hand cut and stuffed into natural casing, which produces an incredibly varied texture. Salumist Mike Philips, in collaboration with a local pepper farm, uses the freshest paprika to add an earthy and smokey flavor to this rustic salami. The production is limited to the size of the pepper harvest, so supplies are very limited!

Rosette De Lyon $24.99 per lb
(Regular Price $29.99)
Rosette de Lyon is a charcuterie classic of Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France. This semi-firm salami is named for the beautiful red hue produced by the red wine and garlic which form the core of its flavor. Once again, Smoking Goose’s impeccable quality shines through with their take on this French classic. This versatile cured meat will pair well with a variety of cheeses on your holiday charcuterie board, but is equally enjoyable stuffed into a baguette for a quick snack!
