I love cheese and I think wine is dandy. When my aunt suggested we go to The Wine and Cheese Restaurant in Westminster CO for a date, while she watched the kids… how could we refuse?
We loved the place so much, I had to write a quick post, just in case you happen to be in that area. The Wine and Cheese Restaurant is located in an outdoor mall called The Orchard Town Center, with loads of shops and a movie theater. We walked over to the movie theater to see The Great Gatsby (best movie ever!!) after dinner.
Dates with your sweetie are the best.
The picture above was our dinner… which (shockingly) completely filled us up. We also split a flight of 4 wines. It was the perfect amount of food.
Check out the Wine and Cheese Restaurant’s complete menu here and get ready to drool over their cheeses… if you are a cheese lover like me.
Here’s what we got:
Trio platter – three items for $31
Walnut Gourmandise – Cow’s milk. France. Soft, buttery and with a hint of sweet served drizzled with Colorado wildflower honey. A customer favorite with its smooth and creamy layering of cheese and crunchy walnuts.
Fleur Vert – Goat’s Milk. France. Fleur Vert (green flower) is a rindless soft creamy cheese covered in fresh thyme, tarragon and pink peppercorns. Mild goat flavor with some sweetness which is not that usual in fresh goat cheese. The herbs cover the cheese creating a beautiful contrast with the white of the cheese though they do not overpower the creaminess of the cheese, a delightful treat, even if you are not (yet) a goat cheese lover.
Honey Smoked Salmon -Colorado, Lightly smoked after being marinated for several hours in a secret blend of all natural herbs and spices. Then the fish is smoked over 100 percent hickory wood keeping it extremely moist, tasty, and tender.
Delish, my friends!
