It's finally Sunday Funday at Brooks Wine for the Wine Club Members 🍷🧀
We have special Swiss Alpine style cheeses paired with 2 beautiful Willamette Valley wines.
It's especially exciting for me to talk about these cheeses after judging in the World Cheese Awards in Bern Switzerland just a couple weeks ago. The cheesemaker/affineur for one of the featured cheeses was in the same room as I and 265 other judges from all over the world. 5244 cheeses were judged that day. I and my judging partner assessed 50 of them.

Today's THE DAY! Catch the live streaming. I'll be at table #2 among all these beautiful cheeses 🧀

Judges we’re ready for you! 5,244 cheeses from 46 nations! Let’s go! 🧀🇨🇭

Wondering how it all works? ⬇️
Cheeses are sent from around the world (by boat, truck, train and plane via 20 international consolidation points) to be judged in a single day by carefully assembled teams of technical experts, buyers, retailers and food writers from every corner of the global cheese community.

Judges work in teams of two or three to identify any cheeses worthy of a Gold, Silver or Bronze award. They assess the rind and paste of the cheese, its colour, texture, consistency, mouthfeel and, above all, the taste. Each of the teams then select one exceptional cheese to put forward as the Super Gold from their table.

These top-flight cheeses are the best in the world and are then judged a second time by the Super Jury - a carefully curated panel of internationally-recognised experts, who each select one of the Super Gold cheeses to champion in the final round of judging. The Super Jury, representing all four corners of the globe, debate the final cheeses in front of a live audience, before announcing the World Champion Cheese live on World Cheese Awards TV, with cheese lovers across the globe tuning in for the drama.

As well as striving for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Super Gold, there are also country and cheese specific trophies to be won.

Cheeses from Switzerland BERNEXPO

Cheese Team USA 🇺🇸 Congratulations!!!!

Thrilled to receive my invitation to judge at the World Cheese Awards in Bern Switzerland this year.
Each year I've had some of the best judging partners from the UK. The Courtyard Dairy I'm excited about the great reunion with Cheese Colleagues and Friends from across the world.

Switzerland is a fantastic region for Cheese. We toured Gruyère, Zurich and Bern in 2023 with a group of Cheese Professionals.
Bern has historic breweries that Erich and I toured. Open vat fermentation process with traditional brewing processes.

We have wanted to get back to Bern!
