WINE

GELBER MUSKATELLER, BERGER, ‘22

Kremstal, Austria

If you’re looking for a wine that’s as bright and lively as a spring morning, Berger’s Gelber Muskateller fits the bill. Crafted in the picturesque Kremstal region, this wine comes from vines planted on loess terraces and deep, rich soils. These terraces soak up the day’s warmth and share it with the vines overnight, coaxing out vibrant, fresh, and fruity flavors.

Fermented slowly in stainless steel to lock in its aromatic character, this Gelber Muskateller brims with varietal purity and a sense of place. On the nose, it’s all about floral bouquets and citrus zest. The palate follows with a crisp and juicy interplay of stone fruit, white flowers, and a touch of spice, ending with a refreshingly clean finish.

Perfectly suited for cozy evenings, light appetizers, or just a casual toast to the good life, this wine encapsulates everything that Sunday School is about! Whether you’re a long-time Muskateller fan or just discovering this charming variety, Berger’s take will surely make you smile.

CHEESE

SELLES-SUR-CHER

Loire Valley, France · Goat-P

This quintessential cheese from the Loire Valley could be the ultimate cure for your winter blues. Its ashy surface stippled with “bloom” suggests fresh earth coming to life, and its soft white paste tastes invigorating and bright. Think: spring air, wildflowers, tender grass blades. Essentially, that’s what Selles-sur-Cher is all about!

The winter milk used for this batch makes for a far more savory experience than the springtime version. These specific wheels are aged in the caves at Murray’s Cheese in New York until the rinds develop and a cream line forms under the ash. For those who have never experienced a soft-ripened French goat cheese, Selles is a revelation – beautifully balanced without any “goaty tang.” Exactly like a great young goat cheese should be.
