New Cheesetique Stretches Her Legs

Greetings!

The new Cheesetique has finally opened its doors. Last Saturday was a huge success and I was so thrilled to see how many folks showed up to support the new shop. We are now working feverishly to get the Cheese & Wine Bar up and running. Never in my life have I had a to-do list so lengthly and varied. Ranging from "print and mount menus" to "install light fixtures in restrooms" to "tweak fondue recipe", it's always an entertaining read.

There are so many goodies to offer at the new shop - a much larger wine selection, artisan beers, fresh meats, and lots of cheeses (of course). I must admit that the funnest (yes, I know that's not a word, but I love saying it anyway) aspect has been selecting the new wines and beers. I've always been a wine fan, and many pairings of wine and cheese are outstanding. But recently I have starting pairing more beers with cheeses and have been amazed at how well they complement each other. This has certainly made the beer selection process an exciting one.

Tomorrow, we will finish some last-minute decor items and then concentrate fully on getting the menu in tip-top shape. Lots of tasting is required - poor me :)

Once the Cheese & Wine Bar is open, the Cheesetique vision will be complete. Until then, please stop by and check out the new digs. Don't forget - the new address is 2411 Mt. Vernon Avenue.
