Ava's Wine and Cheese
Aotearoa New Zealand produces some really beautiful wines, especially crisp and tangy or floral and ripe-fruit-y (think peach!) whites. Thus, the bottle I brought to my girl from France was a Rhône Valley Crozes-Hermitage, a full-bodied red with notes of berries and spice. Ava announced on Tuesday that she would take care of dinner, and produced this tasty Wine and Cheese. The cheeses, if not French, were really very good, and paired beautifully with the wine.
She picked a "French Style" Brie, slightly firm with a deep strong flavour, spicy, nutty and gorgeously crumbly Aged Cheddar, and a a nice Feta, both fresh and salty, which she sprinkled with sage, marjoram and thyme. She liberally sprinkled Tamari Almonds onto the cheeses, and served them with Crackers, crusty Rustic Baguette, butter, and Dressed Lettuce --the Balsamic Vinegar in the dressing bringing a touch of sweetness to the whole meal!
The hardest part was opening the bottle as New Zealand wine doesn't come with cork stoppers, and we did not have a corkscrew. Luckily, the concierge uncovered a tiny Swiss knife in the lost and found, and we managed with the miniature corkscrew! (Do not try to push the cork in, as was her first suggestion; there's no better way to ruin a good beverage!)
Ava's Wine and Cheese worked really well because of the variety of cheeses, and how well each paired with the wine, and it was a tour de force, given we're not staying here very long! She pairs so wonderfully with me, eh?

Sky’s Secret
rich, complex, caffeinated. something fiddly, something red.
muddle 2 roasted (then chilled) grapes
2 oz. triple crème brie and aged white cheddar fat washed vodka (mostly brie, cheddar aged 1 year — get cheese with some crystals)
1/2 oz. cold brew (tangerine, light berry, sweet almond tasting notes, medium roast)
1/2 oz. — sweet red vermouth. the good local stuff.
stir over ice and double strain
serve in your most audacious martini glass garnish with gold flakes
my thanks to the muses @worldsbeyondpod @quiddie and @onsereverra for reminding me that obviously i should start with coffee when building a drink for suvi 😘😘😘
