Does cheese have terroir?
Absolutely.
I'm an apple snob--I only eat certain varieties, usually the hard to find ones.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I seem to have fucked up our new snowblower. I was trying to start it and I couldn't get it started. Now it seems to be frozen up completely. This is an expensive piece of equipment. *sigh* I'm the reason we can't have nice things.
I am about to start my second to last performance of the Holiday Dickens Play. I am so very ready for this day and this show to be over! Want to sleeeeeep!!
I'm leaving to take Kristin to the airport in a few minutes and then I'll leave for San Diego in a few hours.
The only case where I'd prefer California to Wisconsin cheese is when it comes to jack cheeses for Mexican food...
Then again, actual Mexican cheeses work even better.
I love Chihuahua cheese.
I think I want cheese for dinner.
If I'm lucky there's some Manchego waiting in my fridge at home.
Huh. I always considered myself at least a little snobbish about cheese, and I think there's plenty of fine cheese to be had made in California. Also, I'm on a big "buy local" kick, so I'm eschewing any cheese not made in California.
I think it might have a lot to do with what you're used to. It doesn't seem right to prefer Wisconsin Monterrey Jack to the stuff that actually comes from Monterrey.
