Perk up those Dog Days of Summer!

Who Cut the Cheese has some great ideas for brightening up any dog day!

Summer is a great time to offer cheese as an appetizer when it's so warm, it takes little effort, and people are more in the snacking and sipping mood! A little rosé, a little fresh chevre, olives from Provence and a little charcuterie, and heck, that's what we call dinner! Don't forget that Who Cut the Cheese has an express chiller, with the babbling brook, in five minutes you're chilled out and ready to sip! 
 
Speaking of Rosés! Don't forget the Rocking Rosés at the end of August, this is one the Big Cheese's favorite tastings to offer because there is such a growing interest in this category of wine, and yet is still so misunderstood. And rosés love cheese!

Ask for cheese as a first course at your favorite restaurants!

Who Cut The Cheese is now offering cheese plates at Stella Blues. Two plates will be offered: Beer Drinkers Delight & Nibbles for the Wine Sippers. Each plate will have 3 cheeses with different accoutrements to set the tone for each type of plate. A steal of a deal for $12 which is a great snack for two!
 
Cuatro was offering dessert cheese plates last month, we'll see what the Big Cheese will be cutting for them this month! Come in and see!

Mahalo to Dale Boyd (pictured above with the "Big Cheese" Ann Tuomela) for sharing this recipe from Martha Stewart's Living magazine. St. Germaine is still on the huge rise, and it's great to see what cocktails people are concocting with it. This recipe is called The Gemini.

WooHoo!!! Holiday Home Stretch!!!

Holiday Home Stretch

Boot Camp Party!!

It's never too early to plan your holiday events, so you can be sipping on wine while everyone else is shopping last minute!
 
We all are certainly wondering, where did the first half of this year go? Do we want to rush through the second half for our economic relief or is it that we can hardly wait for that special time of the year...The Holidays! As you know being a patron of Who Cut The Cheese, we treat everyday like a holiday for we are truly blessed each day we welcome a new day!
 
No matter how much uncertaintly is waiting in the wings,  there's one thing you can count on...we will be here for your holiday party planning! Again, we want to mention Cheesemonger 101 and your holiday planning at MCC this fall. Since it's only a 3 hour "party boot camp" with limited capacity, book your class as soon as you can...this will sell out! It's Tuesday Sept.29th, 6-9pm.

A Cheese Lover's Quote

"A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive. It may be over sophisticated. Yet it remains cheese, milk's leap toward immortality."

 -Clifton Fadiman, found in the Cheese Lover's Companion
