Asking me what my favorite cheese is would be like asking a mother to pick her favorite kid. I just love them all. I am going on my honeymoon to holland in november and I plan to eat my weight in cheese

Justin sent me some of that red hawk. Absolutely awesome, I had half on Saturday and the other half today. I liked it best on Saturday. Had texture like a fine NY cheese cake.

QOTD: Beside red hawk, I’m a big fan of rogue river blue.

Thanks for a great show.
QOTD:My favorite cheese was brie cheese from Italy. I think it was called Ribiolla?

Who cut the cheeze, man?

I love cheeze!

However, I tend to go for firm cheddars, aged of course.

Depending on what I’m drinking…I will evaluate cheeze according to the acidity and tannic structure I find in wine and the way the cheeze counter-balances…

By the way, where was the wine in today’s show?

Love y’all…

Awesome show. Love the cheese. Can we maybe do a sausage/meat show, too? Full fledged perfect pairing show?

QOTD: Anything that doesn’t come in plastic wrapping or out of a can, I’m good. The stinkier, the better.

QOTD: Brie is the go-to cheese. But I enjoy many types of cheese. I don’t like the smoked flavored cheese or super-duper stinky cheese. A little bit of stink is ok.

Domaine Hudson in Wilmington, DE has an awesome cheese menu.

QOTD: Just starting to get into cheese a little more, but I like harder aged cheese, like Parmesan, and Manchego. The Blues are starting to attract me a little more too.

Gary, great show. Evert is a real keeper at your show. What wines go with the cheeses you tasted?

QOTD: I am a total cheese neophyte but am partial to godia and cheddar…

What a great show…never thought I would see a guest who could match Gary’s passion for anything Everett is a cheese rock star….Gary you still have way more over all game but you would be challenged strongly in the cheese arena by Everett……

Great episode I love my cheese. I love getting a different variety of them from Di Bruno on South Street in Philly. But the best cheese I’ve every had was a Fresh Goat Cheese from a stand on the way to a cousin’s house past Riverhead on Long Island heading to Sound Ave. So fresh, the goats are right there. The cheese is fresh, creamy, and tastes of goat.

Just what the show needed…more cheese.

Awesome, love it.

Current favorite cheese French Morbier

QOTD: My favorite type of cheese is washed rind cheese, definitely a fan of the funky, runny cheeses. My favorite variety would have to be taleggio.

qotd: Kraft American Cheeze…Just Jo. A really nice goat cheeze from Mt. Sterling, WI, coop. Much better than anything I’ve tried from CA.
Smell it first!

Absolutely spanktunkulous. Instant classic and it just goes to show how not only GV but ALL the peeps over at Winelib know their shit, are pationate about it, and how each and everyone of them comes together with a common culture/goal in/for the company.

I love cheese and eagerly await our next cheeses of the month club shipment.
I have to say my favorite cheese so far has been a goat cheese that I had the awesome fortune to taste at FoodEx in Tokyo this year. The company was Caseificio Aresu & C.L. and they make an amazing “Selvaggio” made from old goat’s cheese aged appr. 6-12 months. And they have a dry ricotta, “Ricordo” that’s pretty damn tasty, too.

QOTD: Definitely a cheese rookie but I have dveloped a real taste for Comte.

You’re getting to be a real Renaissanse man. I LIKE IT!!!!!

Nothing like a cheese nerd . Loved the show!

While I live in NYC, and I am a frequenter of shops such as Murray’s Cheese, Zabar’s, Citerella, Fairway, Agata Valentina (if you haven’t been there you should give it a shot), etc., I was very impressed with how well edited Wine Library’s gourmet section was. Great food, very helpful and knowledgeable employees, who were really into the product (take Everett for example), and great prices. In fact, they have this great bacon that I can only find at Wine Library in the dirty Jerz. Go figure.

QOTD: Epoisses, and other stinky wash-rinds. Great stuff.

A very nice show. We always have a variety of cheese in our fridge, and i’m not talking Velveta here. We love (QOTD) Dragon’s Goat Cheese. Nice job Everett.

really emjoyed the guest today who was very knowledgable about the topic. While I’m not very experienced with cheeses this has certainly inspired me to expand into more cheeses.
