attn: wine & cheese lovers

I'm not sure if you all knew this, but I am pretty much obsessed with wine & cheese.

The cheese more than the wine--but I feel that they go best together,

so I have them together

Honestly nothing sounds better than curling up in a cozy little places with a spread of cheeses and a bottle of vino.

Now -- I'm no wine/food snob. I mean I know good stuff when I taste it

but I'll fun bag it every now and then

*fun bag=getting boxed wine.. taking it out of the box..

(this usually happens on a boat)

passing the bag around and drinking out of it while slapping it..

okay-now that I have embarrassed myself.

get it??

You see back in West Texas we didn't have Wholefoods or any gourmet grocery store

especially not a wine bar...

my town is literally the bible belt of the USA

there is a church on every single corner. no lie.

anyway I'm digging this whole urban wine/cheese experience here in Austin.

I've come across quite a few dives and would like to share them with all of you!!

If you are wanting to buy cheese I'd suggest:

Wholefoods/any local grocery store

Local farmer's markets

Antonelli's Cheese Shop

If you are wanting to have a nice cheese plate with some wine I'd suggest:

The Grove

Uncorked

Vino Vino
CRU

If you don't love wine and want beer and some great cheese I'd suggest:
Flying Saucer
..get the hungry farmer.. & get the fog.
best. cheese. ever.
or the pretzel --yummmm. with the queso sauce.

ignore the dark circles. long week!
