What is John Eats Cheese?
John Eats Cheese is a blog about learning cheese, one cheese at a time. I taste a cheese, take a few photos, and write up what it is, where it comes from and how to enjoy it, along with whatever else comes to mind about the taste and smell. Over the years it has grown from tasting notes into a small reference. My camera is really nice, so photograzers are totally welcome.
What you will find here

- Wine and pairing notes, since the two go together.
Why cheese?
Usually when I say that I have a blog where I write about tasting different cheeses, the first question is "why?" or "why cheese?" The answer is kind of longwinded, but it basically has to do with my complete lack of knowledge and experience with regard to cheese and a simultaneous desire to improve myself to become "more worldly."
