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!

More on Beyond Bratwurst: reviews in the Sunday Telegraph, LA Times, South Africa’s Mail & Guardian, and the TLS

Cheese of the month March 2015: Schneeweißer from Arturo Chiriboga, Obere Mühle/Bad Hindelang, Allgäu D
