Soft Cheese
Brillat Savarin – 11 each
Region – Normandy, France, cow’s milk
A forgotten style from the Brie region of Ile de France, and once made in the town of Nangis, the Rouzaire family has reintroduced it. Smaller than the traditional Brie, the pate is soft and the surface is always marked with straw like colours.
Hard Cheese
Manchego – 11 each
Region – La Mancha, sheep’s milk
A delicious firm cheese which is sold in both young and aged forms, with a varying intensity of flavour depending on how aged the cheese is. The cheese is also crumbly and dry. Being a sheep’s cheese it has a higher fat content than cow’s cheese which is in turn fattier than goat’s cheese.
Blue Cheese
Fourme d’Ambert – 12 each
Region – Auvergne, France, cow’s milk
This is cow’s milk cheese has a grey traditional rind that is uneven with wrinkles. The pate is dense like Stilton, but more supple and nutty in flavour, with a lovely savoury tang to finish.
Blue de Basque – 11 each
Region – Basque, France
Blue de Basque is a modern French blue cheese made from sheep’s milk. The milk is ‘thermalized’ but not pasteurized, then coagulated with calf rennet. The cheese is semi-firm, slightly cumbly, and is milder and less salty than other blue cheeses. It has bluish-grey veins, and a rind.
Goats/Ewes Milk
Midnight Moon – 12 each
Region – Holland
Made in Holland following a Dutch Gouda recipe. Dense and chewy Midnight Moon is aged for at least one year, during which time it develops a lovely brown butter flavour with intense caramel undertones.
Fromage D’Affinois Chevre Cremeaux – 11each
Region – Rhone-Alpes France
This unusual hexagonal surface ripened goats’ milk cheese is made near Lyons using a modern micro filtration technique. This concentrates the rich solids in the milk ensuring a smooth consistent texture and well rounded creamy flavour which is enhanced by the use of complex moulds in the rind.
Mon Chéri Martini – 16.50 (We recommend this cocktail with our cheeses)
Pedro Ximenez, Tuaca, Bookers Bourbon slowly stirred over ice with orange oil zest.

2005 Chateau du Pavillon (Sainte Croix Du Mont, France) $14 Glass
This excellent Croix du Mont has been produced from 85% Semillon and 15% Sauvignon. Brilliant golden colour with very pale gold hue. Lifted aromas of peach, apricot and honey. The palate is quite luscious, although it’s lighter in weight and doesn’t display quite the concentration of a Sauternes from the same year. Flavours of honeyed apricot are followed by some ripe peach and a touch of spice. Clean dry finish with aftertaste of honeyed apricot and spice.
