Testimonials
Gourmet Cheese of the Month Club was created in response to feedback from many of our wine and microbrew club members. They told us that we should be offering “boutique” cheeses from around the world to go with our wines and beers. We took over a year to complete our research, and now we are sure we have partnered with the most exceptional and knowledgeable resource for Gourmet Cheese. In fact, Zagat’s rated them as the Number One deli in the USA.
We will offer you only handmade gourmet cheeses that are produced in very limited quantities, and have no doubt been tasted by William the Conqueror, Catherine the Great, Voltaire, Michelangelo, and the like. Each shipment will include enlightening and noteworthy newsletters... and all at a reasonable price! You have our commitment that we will deliver the highest quality products, and can do service… as we have with our five other clubs.
"... Two Words... Flavor Packed! I've never tasted such cheeses. The flavors are so concentrated. It blows me away. And just as I was wondering why this is, Jude explained in the newsletter that it's because the cheeses that you send are allowed to breath and as water evaporates off them, the flavor becomes more intense. Very cool. I'm sending one of your E Hints to see if I can get a renewal for my birthday!"

" We gave your club to our manager last Christmas and she hasn't' stopped talking about it since! So when I called in to extend her gift now that she's been promoted, and Lisa (she's so nice!) told me that you were looking for testimonials, I asked her for some feedback that could be quoted. Marion says she never knew that cheeses like these existed, and after reading the newsletters, she is thinking about taking her vacation in Europe to do some more "on location" tasting. You might find this funny. She also said there's only one thing about the club that makes her feel bad. She feels guilty about hording the cheeses! She actually talks about the cheeses for a couple days each month after getting her shipment! So perhaps we should get another club membership for the staff to taste!"

"... that Ig Vella Dry Jack you sent in December was so good! I think it's been my favorite so far. I think it's so interesting that it comes from such a small farm, and that each cow has a name! That's one of the reasons why I like your service so much. You support small farmers and cheesemakers all around the world who have handed down their knowledge from generation to generation. It's obvious that they take pride in what they're making because everything you've sent so far has been far superior to what I used to think of as a "good" cheese... "

"We really LOVE the variety that you put together each month. My husband and I are from England and we are used to enjoying exceptional cheeses. For a short time we belonged to another cheese club because we couldn't find cheeses that we liked in this part of the country. They sent out a 1lb. block of one type of cheese each month with a half page "newsletter." If we didn't like it, it was a total waste, but we have savored at least 2 of the 3 samples in each of our shipments from your club. The last couple of months, we've been impressed by all 3! Jude, your Chief Cheese Caretaker, must be from England. Send more Stilton! That was unlike any other Blue cheese we've ever tasted."

"I just wanted to drop a quick note and hope that this makes it to the right hands to commend Priscilla on providing superior customer service. In general, she really took the matter quite personally and followed through until we had the issue resolved. I was so upset when I called, and then we realized that the error was on my end, and she was still so nice and professional. I appreciate that kind of dedication and respect for the customer. I plan to try your other clubs in the future for my gift giving needs. The Wines would be sensational for a wedding gift! I might even check out the chocolate club for myself!... "

"... got your club for my birthday this year and have to say, it's one of the best gifts anyone's ever given me. I really get excited about my box showing up each month. My FedX driver said he could actually smell the cheese coming out of the box one month. I think that must have been the Limburger! I'm really enjoying the variety that you send from month to month. I don't think I've ever received any two cheeses that were very similar."

"... Your newsletter is very well written. Jude seems to know a thing or two about cheese! I always read it from cover to cover and then try a little bit of each cheese the first night that the shipment arrives. It's sort of a ritual now. My wife Anny is thinking that she might want to try out the wine club, and I understand Jude selects the cheese to go with the wines. What a fabulous idea! We are having a lot of fun with this club... the surprises are wonderful, and we have made it a special time to just be together and enjoy. We hope our "testimonial" makes your web site!"

"... My Boyfriend and I broke up over your Cheese Club! (Only for 24 hours). I love the cheeses that we get from your club and he's so stingy about them that we got into a big fight over it! He said that I was eating the shipments before he had a chance to try them, but he just takes too long and I can't help myself! My Mom used to call me "mouse" growing up so maybe that has something to do with it. I thought you would appreciate that story. Somebody is (maybe Jude?) doing an OUTSTANDING job selecting the cheeses and writing the newsletters too."
Ursula Hess, Laguna Beach, CA
"... I was pretty much a Kraft American cheese sandwich kind of guy, but I guess I ate enough of the stuff to have my Mom take notice because she gave me a gift membership to your club for one of my graduation presents. At first I thought that was kind of a weird gift, but I've really been digging the stuff. The farmhouse cheddar was the best! I'm going to sell her on the beer club next... "
Al Avevedo, Calabasas, CA
"... The Camembert you sent last month was the best cheese I've ever tasted in my life! Where do you find these cheeses?! You must really research them a lot because we haven't been disappointed yet. The newsletter is really good too. My husband and I like to read it together as we try the cheeses each month. I think it gives us a better appreciation for what we're tasting... "
