Sitting in for a vacationing Matt Russell was Jim Seder of WineInquirer.com. Jim began his New Year’s Eve celebration a few days early, by focusing on two of the basic food groups, chocolate and cheese! His first guest was Alison Meyers of Lake Champlain Chocolates in Vermont, who spoke about the beauty of truffles and gourmet chocolate bars. He then caught up with Gina Freize from Venissimo Cheese in San Diego, whose passion for gourmet cheese is unsurpassed. All of that, plus the Catavinos wine of the week!
