or ricotta topped with almonds and honey that’s nice little add-on.

We poured a few more glasses of wine with our next course—a house charcuterie plate—a wooden board piled up with cured meats (proscuitto and sopressata), paté, a little egg cup filled with nice Dijon mustard and as the menu reads, “the usual olives,” which I thought was pretty funny, though these olives were also studded with caperberries, which made them unusual to me. The charcuterie plate also comes with a dish filled with baguette slices and that great sausage bread. “There’s sausage in this bread!” Craig said, with a thrill, like a kid who’d just been visited by a very generous tooth fairy. It’s a simple surprise, but it goes a long way. Now I realize it’s sort of gilding the lily to eat sausage bread with your plate of cured meats, but hey, why not? I was reminded of a line from Endgame: “You're on earth, there's no cure for that!” That’s certainly one way of looking at it. So gild that lily. Have sausage on your sausage bread, have a pot of fondue, and spend a night in a little log cabin on Hoyt Street called Black Mountain Wine House.

Black Mountain Winehouse is located at 415 Union St., corner of Hoyt Street in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, 718-395-2614.
