Formaggio means cheese in Italian, but it also stands for one of the most tempting places I can think of on the Northern American east coast. Ihsan Gurdal over the years has created a little paradise for any food loving person – and how he manages to keep it all running so well, I have no idea! The cheese selection is awesome – and I am more than honored to run an evening class on German cheeses and dry Riesling at the original location in Cambridge on June 4. » Weiterlesen…

HeinzelCheeseTalk no 13: Let’s go Dutch – Gouda! Friday, April 24 2015

HeinzelCheeseTalk no 12: Alpine cheese and Scharlachberg wines. Friday, March 27, 2015

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

So many cheeses, so many wines, so many of you so interested – therefore we crunched up our rhythm a bit in HeinzelCheeseTalk land. And yes, that’s right: we had Scharlachberg! Germans mostly associate a not very exciting (to say the least) brandy with that name – but actually and mostly it designates a great and steep vineyard on the very northern edge of Rheinhessen, directly on the river Rhine, opposite the Rheingau. » Weiterlesen…
