For our Valentine's Day dessert, we had some cheese, wine, and Japanese pastries. All were really flavorful and fun to eat. Good thing me and the misses are married, since these cheeses have some crazy stank to them - definitely not first date food.Grayson ***
The Grayson is a soft stinky cheese that has a complex intense flavor with the ash providing some texture. Definitely a WTF cheese.
Raclette **
The Raclette is also stinky and soft, but not as complex and having a slightly sweeter flavor. Unfortunately, after eating the Grayson, the Raclette is almost a little bland.
"Braida" - Brachetto d'Aqui 2007 **
A sparkling red dessert wine that had the right amount of sweetness without being disgusting. A nice refreshing drink with a hint of cherries.
Alma Rosa 2007 - Chardonnay *
A nice buttery wine that paired well with the egg, rice dish that I made. It seems like most wine connoisseurs don't like wine with a lot of oak, but I do.
We also had some nice had a red bean flaky pastry and an incredibly moist condensed milk pastry. Great stuff.
