A cheesy post for all the Cheese-Heads and fellow Foodies! 

Since it was a Friday night, I decided to spice things up a bit and instead of going out to dinner I  planned to have some appetizers on the patio so spend some quality time with the hubster.  I made a quick stop at Trader Joe's to get some essentials to make an appetizer spread that we could munch on and have a bottle of wine on the patio. If you are a cheese lover like me, keep reading because I am about to let you in a little secret that will forever upgrade your cheese spreads! I have had this cheese before when we had a picnic during our engagement photo shoot at a winery, but I forgot how amazing it is. IT IS THE BEST CHEESE I HAVE EVER HAD!!! No joke! It is sharp, creamy, nutty, and soaked in Syrah. It is a fabulous addition to a cheese platter for the hard cheese option. They usually say to have 3 types of cheese: Chevre, blu, and a hard cheese. I would highly recommend this for the hard cheese. They also have it with rosemary and black pepper. They are all phenomenal! The price isn't too bad either. It was $5.00 for a good size wedge. I hope you get a chance to try it. It is great with salami, water crackers, and grapes! 

We also had some cut up pita bread with a greek yogurt, cilantro, and chive dip. It was excellent and also good with tortilla chips! We paired these with a bottle of Honeymoon Viognier, which it super crisp and refreshing with just a hint of sweetness and citrus notes and perfect for a hot summer night. Also one of my favorites and only $4.99 at Trader Joes! 

I love discovering new foods at Trader Joe's and their prices are so great I will continue to share good foodie finds! Cheers!
