WINE

Greco di Tufo, Calafè, ’20

Campania, Italy

In the hills of Campania, Greco di Tufo has been prized since Roman times, and Calafè treats this historic grape with a sense of quiet respect. Grown on volcanic soils rich in sulfur and ash, the vineyards around Tufo give Greco its unmistakable edge, a combination of weight, texture, and minerality that sets it apart from Italy’s other southern whites. This vintage leans into that character with confidence. The wine opens with notes of ripe pear, lemon oil, and a hint of almond, followed by a savory, almost smoky mineral note that lingers on the finish. It’s fuller and more structured than you might expect, but still driven by bright acidity that keeps everything in balance. Calafè focuses on letting place lead the way, using a measured hand in the cellar to highlight Greco’s natural depth and longevity. This is a wine that shows why Greco di Tufo has endured for centuries, complex, distinctive, and quietly powerful without ever feeling heavy.

CHEESE

Firefly Farms Merry Goat Round

Accident, MD · Goat–P

Firefly Farms is dedicated to crafting high-quality cow and goat cheeses while staying deeply committed to ethical and sustainable farming practices. Guided by their core belief that happy goats make happy people, Firefly Farms partners with local farmers that prioritize the animal’s well-being. They also use solar electricity and dispose of their whey by donating it for feed to other local farmers. Think of Merry Goat Round as a Brie style, but with a fresh grassy and citrusy hint from the goat's milk. The fluffy rind is a snow white, mushroomy coating called Penicillium Candidum. This mold transforms the tangy, tart goat cheese to something more nuanced and creamier. Be sure to eat the rind too, where the most luscious part of the cheese, the "creamline, " is hiding.
