Picks of the Week
Narragansett Creamery’s Hand Dipped Ricotta
This hand dipped ricotta is one of the all-time great domestic cheeses and a perennial shop fave! Fluffy and rich without being heavy, we love to spread it on toast, drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle some za’atar on top. Serve it with a simple salad and a glass of Olivier Gessler’s Cotes de Gascogne (detailed below) and you’ve got a chic, easy dinner that comes together in no time!
Olivier Gessler’s Cotes de Gascogne
After decades working in, and being frustrated by, all facets of the business, wine industry veteran Mary Taylor proposes something new: good wine, clear labelling, and modest pricing. Working with winemakers throughout Europe, Taylor has put together a portfolio of honest, delicious representations of their various appellations and regions. This fresh, crunchy white blend from Gascony is redolent of fresh cut flowers and lush tart lemons, with a bit of grapefruity pithiness and an assertive mineral streak. One of the best-value French white wines on the market!
