        Fun fact: if you are ever on a plane with a crying baby take a slice of cheese and carefully place it on the babies face. The parents will be so happy with you for calming the baby.

        I read that on Reddit at some point. It seems like solid advise.

        • Tempting, yes. Add some variety and I’m in. I didn’t have Epoisses in a while, and I’d love a good Brie. Taleggio! Oh god, I’m so hungry :-(

            Époisses is really good with a tawny port. At first glance it seems like a flavor mismatch as the port is quite strong, but it conjures up a magical honey like aroma, which is uncanny.

            • Bank holiday in Germany prevents me from buying more cheese right now. All I have left is some Appenzell and Gorgonzola. Sheep’s or goat’s cheese as well. I have to check, but I think there’s some port in my poison vault as well.

                Ah, us swamp Germans don’t let bank Christian holidays interfere with capitalism that often :p.

                Another cheese tip, but one that’s hard to get outside of burgundy, is Cîteaux. A really unique take on reblochon, that has a sharp, tangy note in it. I always pick that up when travelling through there.
