It’s been a surreal, sultry winter for us in the upper midwest. Like a tuber or budding branch, I’m unsure of whether winter is already over or not. With the prospect of a meager inch or two of snow this weekend, I had to make one of my favorite French classics before we’re supposed to shed this winter weight: tartiflette.
If there’s only one holiday pairing you’re going to explore this year, this is it. It’s savory and perfectly indulgent. Together, the pairing is bright, enticing, and delicious. The wine makes the cheese what we call a “session cheese” as in, you'll want to enjoy an entire bottle of this Chardonnay with a whole piece of the Comté Sagesse. Do it. It's the holidays, after all.

A number of years ago a local farmer named Tom Hunter approached us about selling veal he was raising. Up until meeting Tom, we had not considered selling veal, as it didn’t fit our model of ethically raised meat. No need to recount the horrors of commercial veal production in this space, the internet will be happy to inform you of the unconscionable treatment of calves raised for veal.
Tom presented a much different idea of veal—a traditional method which allows the calf access to pasture in addition to its mother’s milk. Rose veals presents much more like grass fed beef than the ultra white confinement veal that most folks are used to. We covet this protein for it’s deep, complex flavor as well as it’s beautiful tenderness.
Each year Tom’s retirement project weighs on him a little more and he suggests this year might be the last. We will enjoy this incredible treat for as long as possible, as it really is one of the truest expressions of care for an animal that we can provide to our customers.
