2014 brought more travel in the first half and transition in the second half.

Here is a slideshow look at 2014:

Cheeses I tasted;

Places I visited;

Cheese Swells and

Friends I saw and met along the way…

Next week, I begin showcasing Cheese Professionals

including

Mongers, Brokers, Vendors, ACS CCPs, Advocates, Ambassadors and Cheesemakers

from every corner of the world… wherever there is cheese!!

I thank each of you for your loyalty these last six years and hope that you will continue this journey with me… I wonder what 2015 holds for us. May it be joyful and filled with peace.
