A trio of delights come together for Valentine's Day

This week is Midwest Cheese week. Let's celebrate all that is great about living so close to Wisconsin. To celebrate the annually anticipated arrival of Rush Creek Reserve, this week's pairing features Uplands' other fantastic product: Pleasant Ridge Reserve.

This week Pastoral is hosting the folks from Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. for tastings and featuring Point Reyes Toma paired with Tensley Blanc (65% Grenache Blanc/ 35% Roussanne). This occasion presents itself as an opportunity to feature a sustainable, top-notch farmstead creamery.

This week's pairing highlights an ACS award winner from our own backyard and a wine from a little further afield.

Appropriately it's an American and a Brit for this week's pairing, as the American delegation continues to excel at the London Games.

A surprising pairing for this week...but one that's sure to please.

Here's to a pairing that signifies that summer is in full swing. As those amazing heirloom tomatoes call to you at the farmer's market, keep this pairing in mind. And for the love of all that is delicious, add some Prosciutto to this pairing. It will blow your mind...

Summer is in full effect and with festival season getting in to gear as well, here's a pairing that's fit for any warm weather occasion!

Pastoral is having a blast with the myriad of events around the city for Chicago Craft Beer Week. We even revamped our beer selection for the occasion! We have brought in several new beers with the intention of further showcasing the broad spectrum of beer styles as they relate to pairing with our broad spectrum of cheese, chocolate, and charcuterie offerings.
