It’s back and it’s national! Due to popular demand, Janet Fletcher and I are bringing back the series we began in May to bring attention to the great cheeses of America. This time, we’re not only focusing on American artisan cheeses but we’re shining the spotlight on those that have won blue ribbons for their excellence. No easy feat, first place, which goes to show just how special the cheeses are in all four collections. Each week will feature a very special winery. Signing up is easy and free(!). Buying the cheeses and wines? Easy too (but sigh, not free). Here’s the line-up:
