CHEESE CLUB

Curated Artisan Cheese ~ Exclusive to Club Members

paired correctly wine and cheese bring out the best in each other . . .


Our Cheese Club

We have always enjoyed tasting cheese from creameries all over the world. In our travels we found hundreds of creameries producing unique and delicious cheeses.

We delight in finding these talented farmers and artisans, pairing their cheese with our wines and sharing them with our Members to enjoy.

Over a decade has passed since Members asked us to pair our wines with cheese and to create a cheese club for them to enjoy our cheese selections and pairings.

Our cheese database now has hundreds of exceptional cheeses many of which we have paired with our wines and every quarter we select six cheeses for our cheese club members.

Cheese club membership is exclusive to our wine club members. There is no commitment so it can be added and removed at any time and the quarterly shipment of six cheeses is the same cost as a single bottle of wine.

Making Cheese

We are drawn to cheese because of its similarities to wine, you need good milk to make good cheese, the cheese reflects the cheese maker's personality and it's best if aged and served correctly.

Aging Cheese (Affinage)

Each cheese will develop a unique appearance, texture, flavor and aroma qualities as it ages. We are very particular about our cheese orders and scrutinize every cheese delivery so your cheese arrives at optimum age for its variety.

In Homer's Odyssey, (1184 BC) the Greek hero Odysseus (Ulysses) and his men were fed cheese and wine by the goddess Circe, who obviously understood that cheese is best presented with the correct wine and accompaniments.

You get six different cheese selections in each shipment. Each is four ounces so the entire shipment delivers a pound and a half of cheese, four times a year.
Each 4-ounce cheese is cut to size, wrapped in special breathable cheese paper, labeled with the cheese name and suggested wine pairing, placed in a thermal container with reusable food-friendly “cool” packs and sealed in an insulated shipping box.

All cheese shipments are sent via overnight carrier to arrive fresh and cool at your home or office.

Prior to each shipment you will receive an email directing you to the News/Releases page in our website where the wines, recipes, spices and cheese selections for each quarter are listed and paired with the appropriate wines.


The six individual cheese we send are selected to pair with one of the six wines of the quarter and are different cheeses from different creameries in each shipment.

The full description of each is in the product information for each cheese which you can locate in either of two ways:

  1. To find a list of the cheese in the shipment Click Here to go to News/Releases where the wines, recipes, spices and cheese selections for each quarter are listed.
  2. To find any individual cheese Click Here to go to our Cheese Listing where you may search for any cheese by name.

The delivery service will leave a note and try again the next day but understand that it's a box of cheese which has a critical time limit on remaining fresh.

We tasted, selected, ordered, paid for, cut, wrapped, packaged and shipped your cheese for you, just as we did for thousands of other club members.

Then we sent you an email advising of the cheese arrival.

The delivery package has a bright sign around it stating that it should be refrigerated as soon as received.

At this point we believe we have have done all that is humanly possible to ensure your cheese arrived fresh and on time and to make sure you knew when to expect to receive it so we do not offer refunds.

Receiving your cheese and enjoying it - we leave up to you.


You may purchase cheese from us directly at one of our tasting rooms as a pre-packaged cheese club pack of six 4-ounce cheeses, subject to availability.
