Artisan Cheeses and Specialty Foods
We enjoy wine with just about any food, but we have specially selected some excellent accompaniments for your convenience at our shop. Rocco Gervino, The Wine Steward’s proprietor, was raised in Boston, a mecca for culinary delights. He also has studied artisan cheeses at Boston University’s culinary arts school and under Ihsan Gurdal, one of the country’s leading authorities. His superb skill for pairing wine and food is evidenced throughout the store, where you’ll be delighted to find many specialty foods you simply can’t find elsewhere.
While you’re visiting, you must stop at the cheese counter to sample some of our fine artisan cheeses. We have a “Try Before You Buy” policy, and you’ll be sure to find one you’ll want to take home and enjoy!
