ZAZU BACON POPCORN PROFESSIONAL
It also was wonderful to see the Bodacious cheese which we had seen at the Bohemian Creamery that we had just toured now in the professional atmosphere of in a dish crafted by a chef in a restaurant.Īfter lunch, take a short stroll literally across the way to Wm. The wine here did a fantastic job of bringing out the red wine pear, while the Bohemian Bodacious cheese is a great compliment and contrast to the bread and to the pear and wine. Then, dessert, which was my favorite of the cheese courses of this lunch, of Bohemian Creamery’s Bodacious cheese with a red wine pear, toasted buttered bread paired with Bucher Pinot Noir RRV 2014. The main course as we chatted at communal tables with fellow tour participants was a Bellwether ricotta raviolo with artichokes, white truffle butter, backyard fava leaf paired with J. Wm Cofield is one of the two cheesemakers we are going to visit on the tour, and we are scheduled to tour them right after this lunch so more on this shortly. Cofield blue cheese, saba paired with North Coast Brewing Old Stock Ale (which also went excellently with the bacon popcorn). The bacon also appeared in the official first course featuring cheese, a B lack pig bacon wrapped date with Wm. Starter of their signature black pig bacon caramel popcorn (they are known for their pigs and bacon here) for the table. Chef Duskie Estes, a regular guest on the Food Network (ad alum of Tom Douglas’s Palace Kitchen in Seattle), served us a meal where every course included cheese from the 2 cheesemakers we were visiting for this tour, as well as other locally sourced ingredients. We would have our last 3 stops out of the 5 on the tour here while visiting the Barlow in Sebastopol – a lunch showcasing cheese, visiting another cheesemaker, and tasting at a distillery.įirst, we had lunch at zazu kitchen + farm. It is a walkable area in downtown Sebastopol that is composed of more then 30 tasting rooms, restaurants, and stores all by local makers in several industrial buildings that used to be the Barlow apple production facility, now re-purposed. Continuing from my last post where I was on a tour with the Artisan Cheese Festival in California, after a cheese seminar with a blind tasting and visiting Bohemian Creamery, we headed over to The Barlow.
