Assorted Cheese Course

Pair with Dusi Essence

In the 1970s, the Ridge Board of Directors dinners at Chez Panisse always concluded with a cheese course rather than a traditional sweet dessert. When building your cheese board, get creative and include an array of cheeses of different textures, ages, and styles. Here, we’ve recommended some of our favorites for creating a cheese course that’s a fitting end to a celebratory meal.
