What cheese loves your
libation? What libation
loves your cheese?
These are the age-old
questions haunting
humankind since the
dawn of eating and
drinking. Questions that
can finally be answered

“Cheese Cupid.”

No longer will you
question if merlot plays
/
/ A
nice with Cheddar. Or
if cabernet has romantic
inclinations toward
Asiago. Yes, love is in
the air. Can you feel it?
Or shall we say, taste it?
