Thanks for posting, I'm thinking of going this Saturday.
I tend to gravitate towards more sharper cheeses.
Seeing as it is summer, I have more salads/starters with the very refreshing mozzarella di bufala, so creamy & rich.
Mrs Sweet Willie is mildly lactose intollerant, so we often have on hand Goat Gouda which we both very much enjoy.
