Join us as Tucker and JC present another weekend of beautifully made cheeses paired with our wines. Tucker has chosen the cheeses this time: four really superb cheeses from our favorite American dairy.
If you’ve ever thought of getting into artisanal cheeses, here’s a great first sampler of what a small upstart dairy can do. Located in Thomasville, Georgia, Sweet Grass Dairy was founded 14 years ago, around the same time we started visiting an old family friend there. We were stunned by the quality of the cheeses --- sweet, fragrant and rich.
The family learned to “Let Cows be Cows” by rotating them around the 140 acre farm so sweet fresh grass was available ---- a practice they learned from New Zealanders. Now every time we’re in Thomasville, one of our first trips is to the Sweet Grass Cheese Shop. Yum.
We’ve brought back a few of our favorites for you to try. Lil’ Moo, Thomasville Tomme and Pimento Cheese among them. Pimento cheese, otherwise known as the “caviar of the South”, is made from their excellent sharp cheddar cheese and pimentos and not much else. Superb.
