Helen and Rick spent the early part of this week in New York as part of Murray's Cheese and Olive Oil Tasting at Fig & Olive, where they had a wonderful time catching up with old friends as well as seeing some new faces.

In the meantime, our cheese was round and about the city making some positive impressions of its own:

- Check out Nora Singley's post on The Kitchn about the Appalachian.

- And here's the Grayson appearing at Per Se's Brooklyn Brewery Dinner, as written up in Wined & Dined.
