The Flight:

Harvest Moon 12 M Reserve

Harvest Moon Reserve is cave-aged a minimum of 12 months. A rich, round cheese with a moonscape-like outer rind an inside the color of autumnal leaves. Inspired by the French Mimolette, Harvest Moon has a hint of sweetness and butterscotch notes that become more pronounced with age.

Paired with Chateau de Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone - Rhone Valley, France 

Meadow Creek Appalachian Cheese

Our goal with the Appalachian has always been to develop a cheese that showcased our milk, milk from a herd developed to fit our farm's mountainous terrain, rather than picking a benchmark cheese and struggling to match the farm to it. To this end we've kept the make simple and focused on affinage, allowing the Appalachian to form a white coat of penicillium molds that compliments its unique flavor.

Aged for at least ninety days in our cellars, Appalachian is a lush, vibrant cheese evocative of cream and butter with a mushroom earthiness that recalls the intensity of the cellars. Its lemon notes shade to toasted as the cheese ages. The texture is velvety, melting on the tongue.

Paired with Tiefenbrunner Chardonnay - Sudtirol Alto Adige, Italy
