From the Cheese Portraits series.
This double portrait is of a great new (to me) California cheese that's from Pedrozo Dairy. They use their own raw Jersey milk to make this and It's aged in Petite Sirah, from the Sierra Foothills. The wine leaves the rind a dramatic rich, deep color of black cherry. The cheese then has a lively fruity and spicy flavor that compliments it's inherent nutty sharpness. That dark rind is what I found attractive when I saw it at Di Bruno's shop in Philly after I had already checked out. I was then forced into a 2nd purchase after a clever cheesemonger saw my interest and offered a taste. I was helpless; I was hooked.
It's really great to taste the wine country in every bite. I love it!
