This week is the last week in “Dairy Month” and I can’t think of anyone more fun to talk to than my friend Paula Lambert! I first meet Paula in 1992 as I was starting our Wichita Chapter of The American Institute of Wine & Food. Paula was the chapter chair in Dallas and was a great help as we started our chapter here in Kansas.
Join us and hear all about Paul’s journey in cheese, the company she founded, cheese she makes and the books she produced. What better way to finish up National Dairy Month.
Paula Lambert founded Dallas’ Mozzarella Company in 1982. Today her company has grown from making a few pounds of fresh mozzarella to producing over 30 artisanal cheeses, all of which Paula has created and developed. Paula’s cheeses have won hundreds of awards and accolades and are known far and wide for their excellence. The cheeses are sold throughout the USA to fine restaurants and stores.
Applauded as one of America’s pioneer artisanal cheesemakers, Paula is the author of The Cheese Lover’s Cookbook and Guide (2000) and Cheese, Glorious Cheese! (2007). The Cheese Lover’s Cookbook and Guide was recently been released in paperback.
Cheese, Glorious Cheese! is a collection of delicious, creative, and modern recipes celebrating one of Americas most beloved foods. From soups and salads to entrees, appetizers, and even desserts, these recipes explore a wide array of varieties and flavors of cheese. Whether you are serving a casual lunch or a festive dinner, there are many options to please any cheese lover.

In the second half, Dan Fehr joins us to share an update on all the fantastic developments at the winery and to talk about the 7-bottle vertical of Rombauer Chardonnay we did a few weeks ago. 7 magnificent vintages, 2013-2019, all top notch…we’ll tell you all about them.
Good Life Guy’s Wine of The Week:
2020 LaCheteau Rosé D’Anjou
60% Cabernet Franc, 20% Grolleau, 20% Gamay cold stainless fermented. Bright pink color and off-dry aromas of strawberry with a hint of citrus. A semi-sweet rosé produced on Gamay and cabernet grape varieties. Beautiful pink color with a fruity nose. This wine is just as fruity and fresh on the palate with long-lasting aromas.
