It is great stuff. Its a maryland cheesemaker that I didn't know about until they were featured in Saveur magazine. They make a few varieties of goat cheese, including a blue goat cheese, which I have yet to try (because I have not found it in a shop). | | | |

That is where I read about them as well so I was interested to know how they lived up to the billing. Good stuff. | | | "It's better to have your enemies inside the tent pissing out, then outside the tent pissing in." -- Lyndon Johnson | |

| Three Sisters Serenita Farmstead cheese
American Cheese Society winner. Aged six months. Made with raw cow's milk. Pungent, a little nutty and tart, loads of salty, sharp goodness. Not an everyday cheese though. Good with '03 Ridge Lytton Springs followed by a nice 72% dark chocolate. | | | |

Frankie-
Have you tried the Grana Padano Parmigiano? It's our favorite. Have it with a sparkling wine. Awesome.

| This is a list of cheeses we tried back about a year ago at Nectar right before it closed. Just ran across a note I jotted down for myself about these.
Monte Enebro - goat yum
Pierre Robert - triple creme brie hw can you go wrong?
Ossau Iratty - sheep very nice
Bleu D'Terignon - bleu made by 84 year old lady from 9 cows very good

| | Italian cheeses. Lots of Italian cheeses. At lunch, little wedges of the undisputed King of Cheeses, parmiggiano regiano, seem to always make our plates. | | | Visit The Butcher Block at http://www.butcherblocktampa.com/ | |
