Sips, Sights, & Spices

Margarita, anyone? The perfect warm-up before we dive into the real star of the night: succulent duck breast lacquered in a glossy Cointreau glaze, its bright citrus cutting through all that glorious richness. With that, a trio of caramelized winter veggies! Together? A cold-weather symphony of zingy citrus, cozy textures, and deep seasonal comfort… best enjoyed with a drink in hand and zero restraint.

Swiss meringues with Gruyère double cream are pure indulgence: crisp, airy sugar clouds meeting rich, velvety cream and bright berries. This dessert is so Swiss it practically yodels, effortlessly turning simple ingredients into something magical. Pair it with Champagne or a sweet late-harvest wine, and suddenly you’ve got a tiny, glorious celebration on a plate. Sugar, cream, berries… wine. Repeat. Happiness guaranteed.

Vacherin Mont-d’Or is Switzerland’s fleeting winter treasure: a rich, woodsy, irresistibly molten cheese from the Vaud Alps. Appearing only in the cold months, it arrives in its signature spruce box like a miniature seasonal festival. Its classic partner is Chasselas, Switzerland’s crisp, quietly elegant white wine, whose freshness lifts every decadent, spoonable bite.
