WINE

Zweigelt Rosé, Brunn, ’25

Kamptal, Austria

Weingut Brunn is a small, family-run estate in the village of Engabrunn, in Austria's Kamptal region north of the Danube. The estate still uses a basket press dating back to 1564, once operated by a Benedictine abbey, and the harvest is done entirely by hand in small batches.

This rosé is made from 100% estate-grown Zweigelt, Austria's most widely planted red grape. The grapes see minimal skin contact, just enough to coax out a bright pink hue, before fermenting in stainless steel at cool temperatures to lock in freshness and aromatic lift. The result is a lively, crisp rosé with notes of strawberry and raspberry, lifted by a delicate floral note of lily on the nose.

Brunn's Zweigelt Rosé is a small-batch expression of one of Austria's oldest wine villages, made in a style built for easy, everyday drinking.

CHEESE

von Trapp Oma

Waitsville, VT · Goat–P

Oma means “grandma” in German. While we do love grandmas, today we’re talking about a delicious cheese from Vermont. The von Trapp brothers (yes, related to those von Trapps from “The Sound of Music”) started making cheese in 2009. To help maintain the family farm’s long-term viability, Dan and Sebastian quit their “real jobs, ” studied cheesemaking at Jasper Hill Farm and created the creamery’s first soft cheese in honor of their grandmother, Erika von Trapp.

The delicate discs are protected by a washed orange rind, which develops while aging in the cellars. The interior is silky and spreadable but won’t run all over the cheeseboard. Earthy mushroom flavors and a savory saltiness permeate the paste. Near the rind is a bright crystalline crunch for a textural balance to this pungent cheese. When the dog bites, when the bee stings or when you’re feeling sad, simply savor Oma and you won’t feel so bad.
