This weekend brought us an unexpected taste of Wisconsin right in our neighborhood in the form was a cheese exhibition held this weekend at a local collective of restaurants near our house. These restaurants are all part of ABC Farms, which are a collection of restaurants and a dairy that promote the use of local, organic ingredients. It’s very similar to the Buy Fresh, Buy Local movement that some Madison restaurants are a part of. Anyways, Saturday there was this exhibition that featured at least 15 different cheeses all made at ABC Farms, as well as local wine vendors from across the state of Maharashatra (the Indian state we’re living in). All of the cheeses they had spread across a large vertical cross section of a tree and they had people that would give you large samples of any and all the cheeses you wished. We decided to take home mild edam, boursin with paprika, and colby along with a white wine from Nasik Valley. We made a night out of it and had cheese, crackers and wine while listening to a Radio Lab podcast. It was an unexpected surprise that ended up making our weekend quite special.
