Willi Lehner, who was supposed to lead a cheese tasting here tomorrow, has cancelled. Darnit.

If you wonder why I am bummed, check out Sula’s profile from May of this year (linked to below but I’ll do it again here) as well as recent coverage in the New York Times and the Isthmus.

I tried some Earth Schmier at a reception following a Kendall College screening of Living on the Wedge (which I wrote about two years ago). It is not for the faint, but if you like stinky diaper cheese it’s a treat, rich and superfunky, ever-so-slightly ammoniac, and–no other word for it–dirty. Not that it tastes like dirt, but it has a rough-edged, loamy aspect unlike anything I’ve tasted before. I guess I’ll have to go to Madison to taste it again.
