We went to the Cheese Festival at Pike Place Market for the third year in a row this past Saturday. We wanted to get there early so we could beat most of the crowd. Some of the stands weren't even completely ready yet when we got there at 10. We learned from previous years that we should bring some water with us because eating so much cheese makes you thirsty. The weather was really nice - sunny with temperatures in the 60s.
We tried free samples of lots of different kinds of cheeses including goat cheese, gouda, cheddar, and cream cheese. Thankfully the lines weren't too long so we probably tried at least 30 kinds of cheese. I don't like blue cheese, so of course we didn't get any of that. We ended up getting 4 kinds of cheese to take home:
Cougar Gold Cheese - a rich white cheddar made by Washington State University
Sierra Nevada Cream Cheese - a very tasty, sweet cream cheese from Northern California
Bergenost Cheese - an interesting Norwegian style cheese made in New York
Tournevent Chevre Noir Cheese - a subtle goat cheese from Canada
I'm looking forward to eating all our cheeses! Yum!

I like going to Whole Foods because they always have free cheese samples out. Last time they had a goat cheese and it was awesome.
Yeah, we get most of our fancy cheeses from Whole Foods. The one by us doesn't usually have samples out, but the person at the counter is usually very helpful and will give you samples if you ask.
