The Cheese Library and Beer Library episodes are a change of pace and extremely informative. Thanks for doing them and please have more cheese on the show!

I <3 Cheese!

Awesome show! Made me drool.
QOTD: I love a lot of different kinds of cheese, depending on my mood, my wine and situation (ie. will I be breathing on friends, or be alone with my stinky cheese). My new found favorite has got to be Poplar Grove Tiger Blue ( http://www.poplargrove.ca/cheese/ ), which I had the opportunity to try for the first time this summer in Naramata, BC.

I vote for a Cheese Show starring Everett! Bring on the Cheese!

QOTD: Wow…it really depends on my mood. I’d have to say that the cheese that caught my interest recently was the Cypress Grove Truffle Tremmor from the company that makes Humbolt Fog.

We love red hawk and eposse when you can get it. we used to go to Chablis and buy the epossie and just eat it. Then it came to the US. Wow what a deal we live in California and can sometimes buy the red hawk. If in SF you can always get it at the ferry plaza farmers market.

Finally got time to watch this just now, and I was SO right. This episode KILLED! Love Love LOVED it… Cheese FTW! I loved the science, I loved the cheese talk. As much as I love the wine talk, I have nothing at all bad to say about this episode. WLTV needs more Everett plain and simple.

QOTD: Seriously …luv an Italian Gorgonzola with white grapes and a bottle of Coteaux du Languedoc-Picpoul(new fav) Most yummy!

The Toblerone King
QOTD: Definitely a Kirkland Signature Mild Cheddar… KIDDING, kidding… I really love Coastal English white cheddar(aged 18 months), but I will let it sit in my fridge for a few months more before I even crack it open. It just tastes better the longer I let it sit.

I can’t wait for next week and beardily awesome Everett to bring back the thunder with take 2, the lightly aged Cowgirl cheese library tv!

I’d go out and get some soft cheeses today, if I hadn’t just had 3 grilled cheese sandwiches in the last 24hrs. Maybe by next week I’ll do this.

My favourite cheese is triple cream camembert on crackers or a sliced baguette….magnifique!

QOTD: It wasn’t my favorite, but I really enjoyed a Brie/Gorgonzola combination cheese from Trader Joe’s, the cheese maker’s name escapes me and I already finished that cheese. My fav is probably a creamy brie cheese.

cowgirl does make some great cheeses, great show!

my number one: Humboldt Fog!

A very elegant goat’s milk cheese from Cypress Grove Chevre
out of Northern California’s, Arcata. (Humboldt County)

Absolutely the best goat cheese on the market…. in my opinion.

No doubt, it’s Cotswald. I’m a sucker for any type of rich cheddar cheese.

That was incredible! I’m waiting for next Thursday with bated breath! Oh, and as a beard man myself, I must say that your beard is rockin’, Mr. Presley!

I am a huge cheese lover–just started experimenting w/ eating raw/living foods and recently had raw cheddar/unpasturized sharp cheddar cheese–have you ever tried that?

It is absolutely delicious and tastes just like “regular” cheese–try it!

Gary: “You pop the cherry.” LOL. Love cheese, especially a good blue like a well made Roquefort. Have some valdeon in the fridge as well. Mmm.

Big on the goat’s milk cheeses these days. A farm in Boyds, MD makes some.

Great show Gary. Hope to see more of the cheese with some wine. Maybe a cheese and wine mix followed by a dinner wine combo show.

Great stuff.

QOTD: We had the amazing pleasure of tasting Cowgirl Creamery and Point Reyes cheeses for the first time on the beach in California with great friends!

Ossau-Iraty.
Beemster XO (which, by the way, WLTV doesn’t carry, though they have the two less-aged Beemsters. You gotta bring this stuff in, Gary!!!! It’s like candy in the mouth!)
Manchego (a well-aged one)
Gruyere (liked this ever since I went to Gruyere)

I love a good Manchego or Danish Blue. When I was in Sweden I used to get my cheese from this little old lady who was French. She didn’t speak English and I don’t speak French but we had a great system. She would let me try different cheeses until I found a couple I like and then should give me bread and a bottle of wine to go with my selection. I never knew what cheese or bread she was giving me but it was always good. The wine was simple read the label. She really did know her wine also. She was extemely nice to me. I wish I was in Sweden right now.

No way a follow up cheese show gets done.
