Some people bring a nice apple pie or a sweet chocolate cake when invited to someones house for dinner. I, bring cheese. On my way to my parents house last night for a nice dinner, I stopped by Whole Foods to "see" what new cheeses they had. In preparation for a future tapas party, I have been obsessed with Spanish cheeses, trying as many as possible to see which are mucho delicioso. I bought a small piece of Queso Clara from Leon, Spain. Coming from the same type of goat (Murciana goats) as Murcia al Vino a.k.a. The Drunken Goat, I was surprised at the difference between the two and how similar it was to a Cabrales or Gorgonzola. Being someone who used to say I wished I could bathe in blue cheese dressing, I was a little disappointed in the Queso Clara. The '98 Tempranillo Riserva was a nice complement to the tangy and saltiness of the cheese, but could have been drank alone or with just about anything.
