The Wine and Cheese Thread

Eeek! By the time a dairy cow has finished giving milk she's no longer prime beef.
The beef must be sourced from different breeds.

I've been to King Island as part of a Tassie tour. The fromagerie was wonderful and we watched the fairy penguins come in at night.
Magic place.
 

Of course there's the old Christmas favourite, port and Stilton, as long as it's a Long Clawson Stilton, none of your Colston Bassett or Cropwell Bishop rubbish!
 
Stilton? Is that the cheese that looks and smells like a mummy's foot?

Ok, taking notes, If I end up more constipated than usual, not sure that's possible, already need, (nevermind on that W me thinks waaaaaaay TMI, :D ) anyhoo, I have a list of people to thank for my future suffering.

Kings Island cheese you say? I'll keep my eyes open for it.

*Note.... DW top of that list.
 
Well Shali, down here we actually have smell-o-vision and I watched a documentary on ancient Egypt. :grin:
Word of honour, that's how I know.

Actually I'm quoting an Englishman who made the observation when we were offered a taste of Stilton.
To this day, I have no idea what it tastes like but I do remember that it was fairly pungent.
My rule, if it smells bad, don't put it in your mouth. Parmesan is the only exception.

Good rule and one I subscribe to as well.

I never had it before, but they had some out to sample and I loved it.. so we got a piece and a nice bottle of wine and really enjoyed our snack.. they have some really good paper thin crackers at WF that are perfect with cheese.. they don't interfere with the taste of the cheese.
 
This is my new favorite wine.. Apothic red. It's a blend and very smooth.. very fruity.. and not expensive.. you can get it at Walmart for $7.99 a great price for a really nice wine. It comes in white too, but I don't drink white wine.
