et’s face the facts.
Cheese is a luxury.
You don’t have to
have cheese to live,
but it’s something that people
just love,” said Lynn Grundmei-
er, cheesemonger at New Sea-
sons Market.
This cheesemonger is in heav-
en at New Seasons Market Fish-
er’s Landing location. The cheese
counter offers a selection of more
than 100 artisan and farmstead
cheeses and a decadent selection
of local cheese from Black Sheep
Creamery in Adna, Wash., The
Rogue Creamery in Central, OR.,
Ochoa’s Queseria in Albany, OR.
and Rivers Edge Chèvre in Logs-
den, OR.
“We by far have the best
cheese selection the county,” she
said. “We are pretty proud of
what we offer and customers are
always excited about the selec-
tion.”
Grundmeier has worked for
more than 30 years in the food
industry and 17 years working
in specialty grocery stores. Her
speciality — whether at New
Seasons Market or her restau-
rant NicheWine &Art — is pair-
ing wine and cheese. Now, more
than ever, customers are visit-
ing the cheese counter in droves
and putting together speciality
cheese plates.
“I love turning people onto
new cheese but I don’t want to
horrify anyone — especially
with stinky cheeses,” she said.
“We like to get people out of the
envelope a little bit, but the best
thing to do is sample everything
before you commit to buying it.
We offer samples of everything.”
Designing your own cheese
plate and wine pairings is easier
than it sounds. First, ask the ex-
perts. Grundmeier and the New
Seasons Market cheese counter
employees can help you sample
and pick out the perfect cheeses
and condiments. For a simple
platter, think in threes. Pick
three different cheeses with dif-
ferent textures, types of milk,
ages or flavor profiles and com-
plimentary condiments.
The three categories can be
broken down into soft and mild
cheese — like fresh goat cheese
with honey, brie or triple creme
with sliced pear or young gouda
with olives and a crostinie —
semi-soft and bold cheeses —
like blue cheese with fig spread,
washed rind with salami or al-
pine with mustard or chutney
and a baguette — and firm and
sharp cheeses — manchego or
percorino with quince paste,
aged gouda with candied nuts or
cheddar with pickles.
“You want everything to
sort of stand out and play out,”
Grundmeier said. “Just pick a
nice variety of cheeses and in
terms of condiments think sweet
and salty.”
Grundmeier said cheese plates
work best if created in pairs of
threes, fives and sevens, and can
be served as an appetizer or after
dinner. Provide approximately 1
to 2 ounces of cheese per person.
Cheese should also be served at
room temperature to enhance
the flavor profile. Grundmeier
suggests setting out the cheese
plate a half an hour before guests
arrive.
New Seasons Market cheese
counter also offers a variety
of accessories such as cheese
spreaders and knives, tasting
notebooks, cheese paper and
wooden blocks and serving plat-
ters.
“The accessories add a little bit
of class to the presentation,” she
said.
Next comes wine. Grundmeier
encourages customers to pick
two bottles of wine — a red and
a white — or champagne to pair
with their cheese plate. New
Seasons Market wine stewards
and cheese counter employees
can help you select the perfect
pair. Or, bring in your favorite
bottle and they will help develop
a cheese platter around it.
“The most important rule is
you need to have the body of
the wine match the body of the
cheese,” she said. “You want
them to be on the same playing
field. A full body cheese needs a
full body wine.”
As a hard and fast rule, pair
soft and mild cheeses with pinot
blanc, chardonnay, sparkling
wine, pilsner and merlot. Pair
semi-soft and bold cheeses with
gewurztraminer, rioja, beer —
hefeweizen or porter — dessert
wine and ports. Pair firm and
sharp cheeses with sauvignon
blanc, beer — ambers and IPA—
cabernet, merlot and brut cham-
pagne.
“Don’t be afraid to try some-
thing new and something that’s
different,” Grundmeier said.
“Most importantly, don’t sweat
the small stuff. People are al-
ways going to love it.”
