Twin Cities: Wine and Cheese Go Better Together
On Monday, July 25, National Wine and Cheese Day celebrates a classic pairing that comes in a wide range of varieties to satisfy any tastes. Indulge in this wonderful combo at one of these great restaurants near Minneapolis homes for sale and St. Paul homes for sale.
- Urban Forage Winery & Cider House - 3016 E. Lake St., Minneapolis, MN 55406
While other students at the University of Minnesota were out partying, Jeff was more interested in the science of making hard cider. His dorm room hobby grew into Urban Forage Winery & Cider House. Jeff uses fruits and flowers from local orchards and gardens in his carefully developed recipes for wine and hard cider. The taproom offers cheese pizza and cheese and crackers tray to go with your beverages. Hours are 4 - 9 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 1 - 9 p.m. Saturday, 1 - 5 p.m. Sunday, and 4 - 9 p.m. Monday. - O'Cheeze - 928 W. 7th St., St. Paul, MN 55102
Cheese is the foundation for several beloved comfort food dishes. That's the concept behind O'Cheeze, Haley and Tony Fritz's fast-casual restaurant that's a companion to their popular food truck. Savor the warm deliciousness of a grilled cheese sandwich, mac & cheese, or nachos along with a glass of wine from the full bar. Even the specials, such as elote corn chowder, feature that melty goodness. O'Cheeze is open 11 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Monday, 10 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Sunday. - Barbette - 1600 W. Lake St., Minneapolis, MN 55408
Enjoy European sophistication in a relaxed, comfortable setting at Barbette. Modeled after a French brasserie, Barbette is a perfect spot for a glass of wine and some artisanal cheese, whether you're meeting friends or unwinding with a good book. Get your daily vegetables with a side of the amazing cauliflower leek gratin, made with Gruyere cheese. Barbette is open daily from 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. - Sidebar at Surdyk's - 303 E. Hennepin Ave., Suite 2, Minneapolis, MN 55414
However you choose to celebrate National Wine and Cheese Day, Sidebar at Surdyk's has you covered. The restaurant takes its name from a term referring to a courtroom discussion that's off the record, and the owners aim for that same type of casual ambiance. In addition to a cheese and charcuterie board to go with your wine, the menu features charmingly squeaky cheese curds served with hot honey. Want to take the party home? Sidebar is located inside Surdyk's Liquor & Cheese Shop, a Twin Cities favorite with an extensive selection of both. Hours at Sidebar are 4 - 11 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The liquor and cheese shop is open 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. - 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Sunday. - W.A.
