A good story

GK Chesterton: “The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.”

Voila: http://www.tastingtoeternity.com. This book is a poetic view of 30 of the best loved French cheeses with an additional two odes to cheese. Recipes, wine pairing, three short stories and an educational section complete the book.

From a hectic life on Wall Street to the peace and glories of the French countryside lead me to be the co-founder of http://www.fromages.com. Ten years later with the words of Pierre Androuet hammering on my brain:

“Cheese is the soul of the soil. It is the purest and most romantic link between humans and the earth.”

I took pen and paper; many reams later with the midnight oil burning Tasting to Eternity was born and self published.

I believe cheese and wine lovers should be told about this publication.

Enjoy.

Thanks for reviewing a wine from my beloved land. I lived in Trentino for 21 years and I love my wines. You should do something about Marzemino D’Isera too.

It’s about time you found teroldego. I’ve been drinking this wine for over 5 yrs. It has since become my favorite. You hit the nail on the head when you said it pairs well with Italian food. I’ve tried it with all types of red gravy( that’s Italian for sauce )& have not been disappointed yet. I tried to get it in your store a year ago & no one knew what I was talking about.I suggested to your wine people that they check out page 36 of your “101 Wines” book. Put this wine in a customer,s hand & they will thank you; plus you can make a full markup on it. The BWC is way ahead of you on this varietal.

PS try Zeni’s version of teroldego

Dude that was a great sound when the cheese hit the speaker. QOTD: I know it’s kinda mainstream, but we just got back from Madrid and the Rioja and Manchego combo kills it.

Wine/Cheese combo: not sure of the cheese name – was a Stilton and a 2002 Late Harvest Rieseling (Yalumba?). Had it at a restaurant and by them selves both were take it or leave it cheese/wine, but together they both just came alive and exploded on my palate with wonderful flavours and depth that lasted for aaaaaaages.

I have never had a wine from that grape varietal. Therefore, good show by my book!

QOTD – I have left this pairing a number of other times – 5 year aged gouda and a Rhone-based grenache wine – CNDP, Gignodas, Vacqueyras, Cotes du Rhone.

QOTD: Dante cheese (from the Wisconsin Sheep Dairy Cooperative) and a Cote Rotie (don’t remember the producer or vintage).
