The first time I went to the Cheese Board, I had a purpose. I was hosting a wine and cheese party, and wanted to find some chevres that were a little more exotic -- a little more exciting -- than I could get at my local Albertson's. Little did I know that my trip t would turn into such an event -- or that I would be so tempted to return, even when I was not specifically in need of cheese....
My advice when going to the Cheese Board is to leave yourself TIME. There are at least 100 varieties to choose from -- and because most of these will probably be unfamiliar, you will want to sample at least a few. Happily, the staff is courteous, helpful, and more than willing to give you tastes of potential favorites. I had a blast just deciding which to buy -- and which to save for my next Cheese Board visit!
