Tanya Melillo and I took out some Cowgirl Creamery "Red Hawk" -- A triple-cream, washed rind, cow's milk, filled with "that stank butter you just love "cheese and paired it with two wines.
2008 Toulouse Gewurtztraminer (CA, Mendocino, Anderson Valley)
2008 Willi Schafer Estate Riesling QBA (Germany, Mosel)
The Toulouse Gewurtz with the Red Hawk was freakishly delicious, and though we loved the Willi Schaefer on its own, and with other foods, when paired with this particular cheese, it brought out some metallic flavors.
After watching this video again, I think there were moments I was channeling Carl from Slingblade...
Also- Huge thanks to Jasmine from Cowgirl Creamery at the Ferry Building!
