Knowing I was going to be doing a rather large wine tasting of the new wine list, for my new job, I decided to keep things simple.
I stopped at Black Sheep for some happy hour wine and a cheese board. Their happy hour wines are just house wines and unfortunately they do not tell you what you are drinking beyond the grape variety.
The cheese board consisted of Hook’s Blue Paradise, Hooks Aged Cheddar, Grumpy Goat, all Wisconsin made cheeses, fig compote, red grapes, nuts, apple, and savory crackers. The vinho verde paired well with the blue cheese and the rose paired well with the goat cheese. I absolutely loved the fig compote, not at all what I was expecting, it was not to heavy on the fig and had lovely floral honey notes to it.
