I can hardly believe summer is already half over; it seems as though it just arrived. Sontes is finally getting more and more produce from the Farmers' Market, and Courtney & Colette, owners of From the Earth Foods, promise their heirloom tomatoes are getting close! We really are fortunate to have such great organic produce at our fingertips. This not only allow us to put the freshest available ingredients on our menu, but also to change our menu weekly, and keep our carbon footprint nice and small in the process.
Vegetables aside, July also finds me super excited about our newest cheese, Valencay Cendre. It is absolutely delicious AND Napoleon himself is behind the story...be sure to ask our staff for the details when you order!
Are you signed up for our 2nd Annual Beer Dinner on July 23rd, yet??? The dinner is quickly approaching and Nelson is probably the most excited out of everyone since it is his love of beer that brings this event to Sontes. Chef Justin has a mouth-watering menu planned, and I am hoping to get the chance to enjoy the food and drink alongside the other beer aficionados this year. (Call Tanya at 507.292.1628 to reserve a seat if you haven't already!)
Lastly, I couldn't be happier to announce that one of my favorite white wines was recently listed as a star pick in Food and Wine magazine. Vina Godeval Godello is refreshing, clean, and almost floral. The staff has been listening to me brag on this wine for almost 2 years, so it's great to read someone else loves it, too!
Until next week,
Bon Appetit!
