One of these days I'll get back to San Fran so I can order the $1,000 cheese plate at Absinthe...

I didn't mean fresh that way, but artisan cheeses, very good blends, amazing flavors. Some are 2-3 years old.
However some like fromage (quark) I want to be very fresh in the normal sense, and they don't disappoint
Wow they have a $1000 cheese plate? I didn't see that, not that I would have ordered
