S4: EP 3 James Ayers & The Sonoma Cheese Factory

When we say WINE, the next that comes up for us is CHEESE! So we thought it might be fun to interview a real-life cheesemonger for our show! We couldn’t be more proud to present this interview with James Ayers from the historic Sonoma Cheese Factory. We set up our recording equipment right in the middle of the shop, surrounded by a dozen or so refrigerated cases of cheese from all over the world. Listen in as James guides us into this amazing world. Be sure to check out our website for a couple of blog entries inspired by James and his expert knowledge of cheese — it might change your wine experience like never before!
As promised, James gave us the perfect cheese pairing for just about any wine. It’s called Foggy Morning, and you can find it here: https://nicasiocheese.com/pages/foggy-morning
