Most of the cheeses I had this year are old favorites so there’s not much point in my going into detail on them. I do want to note, however, that I’m delighted that the good folks at Trethowan’s Dairy are now settled into their new home in Somerset and therefore that supplies of Gorwydd Caerphilly are easily obtainable again.

The one new cheese I tried was Red Wine Farmer. As is my wont, I had asked the server at The Fine Cheese Co. to recommend something. This is what they came up with. It is a Swiss cheese, washed in a local red wine. I’m not a huge fan of the taste of Swiss cheese, but this one does have a good, strong taste. Definitely worth the experiment.
