SAY "AWARD-WINNING CHEESE"! 🥇🏆😋
|
American cheese is no joke, friends. While the highest standard in many minds is the cheese of France or Italy, the vast United States is full of dedicated cheesemakers who coax beauty from the healthiest cows, sheep, and goats across the country. The American Cheese Society recently announced their 2026 winners, and you are able to taste the BEST of the BEST here at DECANT!

A Loire Valley Journey of Châteaux, Wine & Culinary Elegance.
I'm partnering with ENV Travel on a 10-day journey through one of the most historically significant wine regions in the world. ENV are pros at this kind of immersive, luxury food and wine travel at an incredibly high level. This is not your typical bus tour. This trip will take us from Orléans west to Angers, hitting Sancerre, Vouvray, Chinon, Saumur, and Anjou along the way. We'll be staying in 5-star château accommodations the whole time, with private producer access and Michelin-caliber dining. Plus, visits to the historic chateaux at Chambord, Chenonceau, and Villandry!

LET'S BE FRIENDS!
At DECANT, we’re all about real wine and real connection. Our shelves are stocked with sustainably made, small-production bottles from around the world—wines with a sense of place and a story to tell. We’re a bottle shop, a wine bar, and a space for learning and community.
That means curated flights and snacks, a monthly wine club we call The Bottle Cult, pop-ups, blind tastings, winemaker nights, and plenty of reasons to swing by with friends (or solo—we’ve got bar seats). We also carry some of our favorite pantry staples—tinned fish, cheeses, olive oils, and more—so you can grab a last-minute gift or pull together a great night in.
We'll see you soon! Cara, Gillian, Simi & Ana
