Please join us Saturday, February 6th from 2-4pm upstairs in our wine department as we present Staff Picks Part II. We had a such a good time last Saturday picking out wines to taste, we thought we'd do it again this week. With over 1,000 wines in the shop, it's difficult to pick just a few but we managed to narrow it down. Come see what's on our oenological minds this week.

See you at the store!

Fresh French Black Perigord Truffles
February 3, 2010

Fresh French Perigord Truffles will fly in tomorrow morning. We continue to order more and more of these little winter gems as their quality is quite remarkable. Snatch one up before they're gone!

Here's a quick recipe for them...

Fettuccine with Black Truffle
Serves 4

1 1/2 lbs Egg Fettuccine (fresh is great, of course)
3/4 cup Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 walnut-sized Perigord black truffle

Fettuccine is the traditional cut of pasta for the truffle. Of course other long, broad cuts will work but there is something to be said for tradition...

Boil the pasta in a generous amount of salted water until about three-quarters done (when the pasta starts rising to the surface. Drain and place in a skillet with the melted butter. Toss the pasta with the butter. *Shave the truffle into the pasta and butter and finish cooking the pasta. Serve on individual dishes, topped with Reggiano.

*This is a bit different than a white truffle as the perigord benefits a bit from the heat of final cooking.
