Yes I Would Like Some Wine With My Cheese

My gf and I took my other gf wine and cheese tasting for her birthday at Artisanal in New York. The class was really awesome aside from the snooty wine and cheese think-they-know-it-all-snooties who wouldn't stop asking questions that they subsequently answered themselves. Sitting in the class was like being back in 3rd grade when you would raise your hand in excitement and glee because your teacher asked a question you knew the answer to. I had a great time stuffing my face with and by the end of the night I was pretty drunk. As you can see in the pictures they are not cheap with the wines or the cheeses! The class was both fun and informative. I highly recommend it!(Starting at 6 o'clock going clockwise): 1 Durrus, Ireland, cow's milk; 2 Valencay, France, goat's milk; 3 Peirre Robert, France, cow's milk; 4 Montgomery's Cheddar, Great Britain, cow's milk; 5 Colston Bassett Stilton, Great Britain, cow's milk; 6 Roquefort, France, sheep's milk

(from Left to Right, number correlating with cheese pairing): 3 Pannier Brut NV, Champagne; 2 Sancerre Domaine la croix Saint Luarent 2005, Sauvignon Blanc; 1 Selbach Kabinett 2005, Riesling; 4 Newcastle Brown Ale; 5 Churchill's LBV 1999, Porto; 6 Chateau Lafon 2005, Sauternes
This little chocolate hazelnut mouse managed to sneak his way to my cheese!
