Clockwise from top left: Sage gnocchi with chèvre, morels and shaved Lamb Chopper; the cheese plate with Truffle Tremor, Humboldt Fog and homemade flatbread; duck confit salad pizza with chèvre; savory artichoke heart cheesecake.
Grove experience. If you’re a red head, try the 2012 Whitethorn Pinot Noir with the piquant Truffle Tremor to bring out the cheese’s earthy notes. The 2014 Trinity River cuvee, a cabernet-merlot blend, balances the gouda-style Lamb Chopper. Your cheese trip’s just kicking in when the enticing scent of the Douce’s wood-fired pizza wafts to the table. Folie Douce pizza offers a perfect foodie canvas. One masterpiece is a duck confit salad-style pizza with cherries, arugula, Cypress Grove chevre and lemon-olive oil dressing ($24). Did you save space for something sweet? Let’s go with Fromage Blanc incorporated into seasonally inspired amaretto cherry cheesecake ($12).
