Cider and Cheese Pairings

This past August my friends and I took a class at Murray's Cheese called Power Trio: Beer, Cider, and Cheese.  I am finally getting around to posting about it (after shuffling through a stack of papers I remembered I took this class), and I thought there really isn't a better time to have cider than now that it is finally feeling like fall around here.  So I am just going to highlight my three favorite pairings.  You can get the ciders at Astor Wines and the cheese at Murray's Cheese, but I am sure there are other places you can find both.

Murray's Cheese Class - Honey & Cheese Pairing

After long and relaxing week in Mexico, it is back to reality.  After an overload of beer, margaritas, and beans and rice, starting today I am doing a 3-day BluePrint Cleanse (for real this time).  But before I start that (drinking hot water with lemon as I type), I am trying to forget about all the delicious food I have eaten these past couple weeks.  Two weeks ago, my friends and I went to Murray's Cheese for a honey and cheese pairing class.  Taught by Louise Geller and Let It Bee Honey bee keeper, Christine Lehner, the class went through some amazing cheese and honey combinations.
