This Week's Tasting: July 23, 2018

Every week at Dairymaids we select six cheeses to include in our free cheese tasting.
Whenever we are open, we are tasting cheese. We stock over 150!

Pierce Point is the summer seasonal brie from the Cowgirl Creamery in California. It is a double cream brie made with organic cow's milk, spritzed with organic Riesling and rolled in dried herbs from the Tomales Bay coastal region. The result is a delicious cheese, semi-firm yet creamy, complex yet not overpowering.

Also on our tasting plate this week:

Marinated Sheep and Goat's Milk Cheese, a fresh cheese marinated in olive oil and herbs from the Meredith Dairy in Australia.

Latteria, a raw cow's milk cheese modeled after an Italian table-style from Lira Rossa in Moulton, Texas.

Smoked Gouda, a raw cow's milk traditional Dutch gouda from the the Holland Family Farm in Wisconsin.

Flory's Truckle, an aged, cloth-bound cheddar from the Milton Creamery in Iowa.

Caveman Blue, a cave-aged, cow's milk blue cheese from the Rogue Creamery in Oregon.

Our wine of the week is a Pinor Noisr Rosé from Villa Wolf in the Pfalz region of Germany. We taste wine from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.

Our pairing of the week is Urban Honey, a local, Houston honey from Words & Foods.
