"Click here for a cheese and wine pairing lesson on View From the Bay on ABC 7, San Francisco"
Spring is in the air, and that means it's a great time for cheese. Well, okay - it's always a great time for cheese as far as I'm concerned. But in fact there is seasonal significance in the cheese world. The sheep and goats are giving birth, which means, of course, they're giving milk. And you know what that means: cheesemaking in the sheep and goat worlds has resumed after a winter hiatus. Because of that, fresh spring cheeses are hitting the market and the aged cheeses will be soon too.
I'm feeling pretty springy myself knowing that the annual Food & Wine magazine Classic at Aspen is coming up in mid-June, and once again I get to introduce Classic-goers to some of the most amazing cheeses I've ever tasted. No exaggeration.
There's always a lot of change and excitement in the world of cheese, and it's my hope that through this site, my newsletter, and my books, you will continue to build on your own enthusiasm for the best, most seductive, spectacular food in the world.
Say cheese!
