Thanks to all who attended The Winey Neighbor’s Grand Tasting this past Saturday!
Scores of neighbors came by and sampled three of my cheeses. Here’s what they tried:
Little Kidd: this 5-week old bloomy rind goat cheese is spicy and sharp, with a dense texture and a swift funk at the end.
Whoops Wahoos: these new 3-week old natural yeast rind goat cheeses are my newest endeavor, and they found many fans at the tasting. With gooey, lip-smacking texture and a tasting “like a trip through the woods” I suspect there will be many orders for these coming in soon.
Fresh Mozzarella: can’t go wrong with this creamy, milky cow’s milk classic. Especially popular with the kiddies!
If you’re interested in procuring any of these cheeses, or if you’d like to take one of my cheesemaking classes, email me today.

Musical By Nature of the Day: Speaking of which, here’s a record player modified by Bartholomäus Traubeck to play slices of wood by translating the year ring data into music.

Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.
Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.
Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.
The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.
Do your part. Take action. Stop SOPA and PIPA and put an end to threat of Internet censorship.
