Eating Mutschli with the rind?!? Not that I've ever seen or done this here in Switzerland, but well…

QOTD – A nutty, softer gruyere. A slutty, super-soft, barnyardy Roquefort is a close second.

Thanks for asking a soccer question- Brasil! I'd like to see USA at least make a decent showing, though we sadly don't have the national development program needed to field a World Cup winning team- yet!! (Did I hear Mott say Brasil or do I need a Belltone?)
QOTD: Mimolette- yum! I'm really spoiled, with all the amazing cheese makers so nearby, but France has us beat on this one.

hmmm… not sure if anyone noticed this but Gary tasted the second cheese again after the third cheese before he took his first taste of the Neyers Merlot….

Merlot does not like soft cheese in my experience…

I really enjoyed the show and found it a quick 28 minutes with the easy peasy repoire between the two of ya's. I do a fair amoun tof cooking/baking with cheese, but not alot of eating on it's own. Maybe at the holidays. So this type show was very educational for me. I like the suggestion from others to do a regular wine/cheese show. It's a natch.
Whodda thought there would be so much acidity on a merlot? Maybe shoudda went old world there.

QOTD: Currently liking Gran Padano.

P.S. Why didn't you just dispatch someone out to get another Sauv Blanc for the tasting?

I agree to have Justin pairing wine with cheese or cheese with wine. He is totally a great guest. He is so into the cheese and has so much to offer. The Gourmet library can bring in all the other eats. This can be endless fun. Gary already started with cereal. There can be more…

I agree to what you are saying here. It would be great having Justin on each month to do more wine and cheese pairings. I can see him being a guest that can easily bring a lot to the table with these pairings.

Next time lets get Justin to pair the wines and cheeses.

Awesome show guys. This is the type of guest that I really like. An expert in his field who is as passionate about what he does as Gary is. I know at the end of 2009, you said you may not be having as many guests in 2010, but I love when you have people on that help direct us vayniaks into other wine related fields.

In response to the question of the day, La Sauvagine from Toronto, is a pasteurized cow milk cheese that is unbelievable (Alexis de Portneuf (industrial)). Its a soft cheese that I could eat the entire wheel in one sitting with ease!!
