This wine was given to us as a wedding present in 2014 by the grape grower with strict instructions via masking tape to not drink until 2025. Bring the rule follower that I am, I opened it up with days to spare. Worth the wait! Enjoyed with my beef Wellington. (I made 3, & I’ll never do that again.)

Abbaye de Belloc. Possibly my favorite Basque #cheese. Basque cheeses are typically (not always) sheep milk, lightly washed-rind, and aged roughly 6 weeks - 6 months. This cheese is smooth, buttery, notes of fresh baked baguette. Similar to Ossau Iraty, but made in small batches.

I come from a theater/showbiz family, and it definitely shows when I'm talking about the French oral "history" of how blue cheese was discovered.

Hello BlueSky, which I definitely do not pronounce "Blueskie".
