Gary! I am back after a hiatus, and catching up on past episodes. Great one by the way.

QOTD: I love it all. Parmesan has always been a fave, especially the authentic Italian stuff from Parma. Recently I tried an Irish cheddar that was flavored with CUMIN, and that was a truly grand experience.

Here’s to more cheese!

Ooops. I forgot the “-ton” at the end of “Washing”.

Great show! If you ever find yourself in Washing, DC again, one of their two stores is here. It is at 919 F Street,NW, close to both the Metro Center and Gallery Place metro stops. It is a beautiful little store, and they carry all their cheeses, as well as a wonderful selection of cheeses from around the country and world. Can’t be missed.

My favorite cheese…Cheeses Christ, I don’t know. The stinky ones are always appealing, and I like the blue cheeses a whole lot. Maybe a cheese that I bought at the DC Cowgirl Creamery store that was from a farm in Virginia. It was a soft, creamy (triple cream I think) that stunk like feet and tasted like heaven. Can’t recall the name.

Great show. Thanks Everett for all the cheese info passed down. Not my styles of cheese but still good stuff to know. QOTD: Cheddar. Yes I know its so simple and boring but Ive never been able to get into those stinky and creamy cheeses.

Gotta vote for the Crater Lake Blue Cheese. From my native Oregon and voted best in the world (in it’s category of course) by the French; what more do you want?

Yummy, I do love cheese. Those look great. I wonder if I can find in Trader Joe’s. Anyway, I like Brie and Muenster. And cheddar.

Ilse-Belgian and proud of it
nice episode, but as far as I am concerned, the three cheeses presented were too “similar”: I would say to try cheeses of different origin (cow-goat-sheep) or fresh-cured to have a certain evolution during the tasting session. Maybe eat some (neutral) cracker to separate tasting experience for each cheese, cf. spitting out wine. But you need to start somewhere…

QOTD : not that many people know, but in Belgium we make loads of cheeses too (e.g. most of the abbey beers have their cheese-equivalent), and my preferred ones are Orval (best eaten on rye bread, with a nice Orval beer with it) and Maredsous (likewise). A fresh goat cheese is very nice as well. Unfortunately, I cannot get that in Spain (where I live)…a nice Pyrenees brebis (lamb milk cheese) is second choice

Loved this episode, since I love cheese. I’ve been kind of sheltered to the New England cheeses. I did have some Wisconsin cheddar when out in that area.

QOTD: My long time favorite is the Cabot Seriously Sharp that comes in the plaid packaging.

Although… recently I’ve discovered Gruyere Swiss Cheese, love the stinky cheeses!

Great show! I love cheese.

Gary, please stop interrupting Everett. Though your excitement is great, you dilute the education that can be gleaned from the cheese guy.

Good show – liked the knowledge of the guest. Did he play guitar for ZZ Top?
BIG cheese fan!
In the fridge right now we have a 5 year aged Gouda and a Comte.

QOTD: I am a big fan of the Kaltbach 12-month cave-aged Gruyere, which is a readily available semi-hard cheese with loads of flavor and complexity. I also enjoy soft cheeses such as brie because of their earthy, mushroom flavors when they’re good. Good show, I learned a lot.

QOTD: I know this is horrible, but I love pepperjack cheese.

You just rocked my cheese world! Good idea to change to line-up and do a cheese set. Nothing goes better with wine than a good stinky cheese!

(Would love a bourbon show one of these days…)

QOTD: Not really sure. I am just a fan of really sharp cheddars. I honestly don’t know much about cheeses other than the ones that normally come from the grocery store like kraft and such.
