 We can help with all your holiday gatherings! Create a fun and festive get together with a selection of our special orders: Vegetables & Dip, Hummus & Pita, Stuffed Mushrooms, Cheese & Fruit, Spanakopita, Hot Wings or Sushi.
A quick and easy way to make an occasion special or to dress up a holiday dinner is to serve a cheese plate. It can be presented as appetizer or dessert, and it is easy. Here are some suggestions: Keep it simple: 3 to 5 cheeses is all you need. A few ounces per guest will be enough, especially if there is bread and/or crackers alongside. Have a theme: You can stick with one country (or state) of origin, type of milk, or type of cheese. such as a range of blues, mild to strong. Provide companions: olives, nuts, fruit or interesting condiments like chutney or fruit pastes can be good companions. Bring cheese to room temperature to serve. For ripe brie-types, this means arranging your cheese on the serving dish an hour before it will be eaten. Loosely drape plastic wrap or wax paper over the cheese to prevent drying out. Try some combinations. Go with what you like and don't be afraid to to try unusal combinations. Some interesting varities are: Vermont Sharp, parrano, and aged gouda with pickles and mango chutney. Manchego, Chapel Hill Creamery New Moon and Pecorino Toscano with quince paste. Jarlsberg, gruyere and Meadow Creek Appalachian with good beer. We will be happy to give you samples at the cheese counter to help with your selections. |

| A Winter's Ale! | |||
As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, it's time to start reaching for those rich and tasty winter beers to help celebrate the season. Holiday beers and "winter warmers" have been a tradition for centuries. In Europe, the traditional wassail dates back as far as Medieval times. Wassail is a heated drink containing a mixture of beer, cider, wine, spices, fruits, and sometimes liquor. In the abbey, monks would make a special beer for themselves to celebrate Christmas. Usually these beers would be stronger and richer than their normal beer.
These old traditions are alive and well today. While there is no set of guidelines for a winter beer, they usually follow a general pattern of higher alcohol content, the use of darker malts, and some use of spices. In the U.S., Anchor Brewery has been making "Our Special Ale" for more than thirty years. This year's brew offers tastes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and roasted barley all with a touch of anise. For another smooth brew, try Sam Smith's Winter Welcome. This copper colored ale has a sweet nutty flavor balanced with a wonderful hop bitterness. Sierra Nevada is a hoppier winter beer with spicy spruce and pine flavors. Our local Carolina Brewery has its own "Santa's Secret." Brewer Jon Connolly has created a rich amber colored beer with allspice, cinnamon, orange, and coriander. As winter approaches, these beers are perfect for celebrating, staying warm, and sharing stories with friends. Enjoy these gems before they're gone, or you may be left out in the cold. |
