  Got Cheese?
June 2005

Wine and cheese at the end of a meal. It was a flash back to life in Europe for me. During the last decade or so living in New England, the cheese plate and its role as a foil to the conclusion of a great bottle of red wine has eluded me. It's just not fashionable and rarely offered. Perhaps, because we New Englanders don't linger over the end of our meals. I am not sure. Maybe the restaurants want us out so they can seat another party.

History has it, that despite ranting and raving against the inevitable, he took a serious dunking and wound up wading back to the beach a broken man.

In the wine industry, it seems that screw caps are the tide and middle-aged wine drinkers, or oenophiles, as we like to be called, are the wannabe King Kanutes, trying to turn back the tide. Most folks love the sound of a popping cork at their table side. All that ceremony, the pop, the smell of the cork, that first sip of wine. Hang on, where did all that pomp and circumstance come from?
