Good morning cheese lovers! As I’m sure you all know, today is National Hammock Day. That means you can find me hard-core lounging under a tree with a glass of wine in my hand and a plate of cheese and salumi on my lap. But that’s just the warm-up for the big event. Wednesday the 25th is National Wine and Cheese Day! So get your favorite pairings locked and loaded for possibly the greatest holiday of the year. Feet up and pinkies out, friends! Cheers!
