Our first featured cheese is a cave aged Swiss Gruyere. Firmer and nuttier than its counterpart, the French Comte, the finish of this Swiss favorite (above and to the left) is sweet, almost with a hint of pineapple. A good Chardonnay will fit nicely with this cheese.The other featured cheese is a half goat milk, half cow milk cheese from France known as Chaubier. As the French are sometimes fond of saying when speaking of certain cheeses, the rind of this fromage "smells like the feet of an angel." Milder than the rind would lead you to believe, Chaubier is smooth and milky, almost melting in your mouth. Pairs fantastically with a Pinot Noir.
