Saturday 9/3: Shy Brothers Farm Tasting at American Provisions
For the nibblers in town, this edition of Provisions’ weekly tasting series will showcase bite-sized artisan cheeses dubbed “Hannahbells” by their Westport creators. The Santos brothers hand-craft these babies — which some refer to as buttons or thimbles — in exotic flavors like lavender bud. If you’d rather keep it simple, you can always opt for the rosemary or classic French versions.
