I had met the wonderful ladies that were representing Keystone Farms, at their booth, at the Sussex County Fairgrounds, for the Lake Mohawk German Christmas festival! Both Ladies are so sweet, and so patient, to deal with the patrons and the long line of hungry festival-goers, that were sampling the multiple cheeses that were set out for sale! Let's just say, that one of the ladies actually had to take a ride from Augusta NJ, back to the Farm, to load up MORE coolers filled with cheese, just to satisfy the amount of customers that they had not originally expected!!! With that being said, Each step closer, as you keep re-reading the sign as to which flavor that you wanted to sample, it made you CRAVE a taste for every single flavor! I always purchase the Cranberry, the Blueberry and the Herb cheese blocks. The White Cheddar Cheese curds are great for melting on top of your burger or making homemade Mac N Cheese, artichoke dip, you name it! Although I cannot drink, I can cook with wines!! So, I took a walk over to my friend, who owns Balic winery, and introduced Keystone to Balic, and I pray, becomes their next meeting of the minds to blend the companies and make a real hit, out in the market of wine and cheese connoisseurs! I paired the Keystone Farms Blueberry cheese with the Balic Blueberry wine, I paired the cranberry cheese with the cherry and cranberry wine and the Pink Rose' and the White wine with the Herb cheese and the pumpkin cheese...WOW! Now, I usually marinate my prime rib and my filet mignon with the cherry wine, rosemary, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil, for a magnificently flavored meal, AND I use the Cherry, and blueberry wines with my homemade pizzelle cannolis and cheesecakes, chocolate mousses...what better way to end the dinners, then with some beautiful fresh grapes, bacon wrapped scallops with melted white cheddar curds, Prosciutto wrapped Cantaloupe skewers, all with delicate Balic wines and all of the Fabulous, creamy and oh, so mouth-watering, delicate specialty cheeses, from Keystone Farms! Here's to a new, wonderful friendship of Cheese and Fine wines, but the best of all is, after all, meeting the Owner, and Yes, she is a Wonderful Woman, (and deepest respects, to a woman owned company!), her two beautiful and sweet Representative workers, our dear friends and part of our 2nd family!!! We are, grateful and privileged to know each of You!!! God Bless You, always and Have a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year!!!
