Fun-Do Events- Rapture Lounge
A cheese and wine pairing at Rapture Lounge in Astoria, we've done several tastings over the past 3 or 4 years, this time we had a big turnout in spite of the torrential rain. We had spanish, dutch, french and american cheeses and must have plated close to 80, needless to say the everyone ordered more wine and cocktails and it turned into a cheesy party. If you would like to introduce a cheese plate on your menu this is the way to get a feel for what cheeses will work with your clientele.

Fun Do it yourself - Astoria's Melting Pot
1. Blue Ledge Farm Crottina, goat’s milk cheese from Salisbury Vermont, bloomy rind, milky with a hint of citrus. The silky paste of this cheese will please everyone.
2. Roomano, cow’s milk cheese from Holland. Very smooth cheese, crystals and butterscotch, this cheese melts in your mouth. This cheese is like candy to a child.
3. Azeitao, sheep’s milk cheese made in Arrabida, Portugal. This small wheel is full flavored, soft and runny with hints of sweet herbs. It will definitely become one of your favorites.
4. Stilton, cow’s milk cheese from England. This blue sometimes called a royal cheese, is not as salty or as aggressive as other blues and it has a balanced finish.
This selection honors Astoria’s multiculturalism. Great cheeses are made by great people all over the world. A place like Astoria that is home to hundreds of different cultures and accents, should in fact house an eclectic selection of cheeses. Pair this with a bottle of Port, Malvasia or a Grunner Veltliner.
Enjoy!

1. Bijou, goat’s milk cheese from Vermont, semi firm in the style of the Loire Valley goat cheeses. Mild flavored and delicate, it can be addictive.
2. Grand Cru Gruyere Surchoix, cow’s milk cheese from Wisconsin. Rich, spicy and nutty this is made in style of the great mountain Swiss cheeses.
3. Vermont’s Shepherd, sheep’s milk cheese made in Vermont. This is one of the great American artisan cheeses. It is made seasonal by the Ielpi Major family; this is the country’s oldest sheep’s milk cheese. Smooth, creamy, rich and earthy flavors, this is a jewel.

Artisan cheese making in the United States has taken major steps forward, creating some amazing cheeses that can rival any European cheese. Let’s enjoy this with a Riesling from Oregon, a California Zinfandel, Niagara’s dessert wines or a Pinot Noir from the state of Washington.
