But we had passed Cheese Central the other day, and it was open till 6. I asked the ladies behind the counter if they did sandwiches, which they didn't. But I noticed they had a display of sausages and pates. Suddenly Riley appeared. He asked me what sort of thing I was looking for. Within a minute I had two petite Molinari fennel salamis, a wedge of smoked Gouda, and a half LaBrea baguette. He rang me up, gave me napkins and knives, and I was on my way. Everything was delicious.

I can only assume that the owners are very generous and animal loving people. Everything seems so farmhousey and inviting. Although our visit there was brief, I felt renewed and it was one of the highlights of our snow trip. Food (5 stars) + Grilled cheese sandwiches for about $5. Each bite had that Gouda flavor. I got the salami and I thought it's a perfect combination. + Store full of goodies for your pantry and of course Gouda galore Service/Ambiance (5 stars) + One woman was manning the store and she also made our sandwich.

Not only did she make great recommendations on cheeses but was also nice enough to cut them into cubes for us. We were staying at the Inn and did not have a knife or cheese board with us. We went back to the room, started up the fireplace and had a makeshift charcuterie tray with a nice bottle of wine for lunch.

I appreciated that samples were available upon request, though the shop wasn't really set up to encourage sampling, and the staff seemed quite busy when I visited. Other cheese shops I have been to have a more welcoming sampling experience. There were also crackers, spreads, chocolate and teas available for sale. I was interested in one of the chocolate and mint teas, and was going to purchase, but it was $15, so a little steep in price for me. I did some crackers and two types of cheese. Haven't tried them yet, but looking forward to giving them a taste.

He said "No, there's actually Beer IN the cheese!" "No way," I thought. "WAY," he said, grinning. That was our introduction to Fiscalini Farmstead, a dairy and Cheese maker Par Excellence, here in California's Central Valley. Needless to say, on future shopping escapades, we sought out the "Beer cheese," when one sad day, they were OUT! [Sad face]. I found their website and proceeded to promptly order their 'Everything but the kitchen sink" variety pack, adding an extra Craft Beer Cheddar for good measure. We're about through that assortment and, wow! This is some excellent cheese. The Farmhouse Cheddar we started sampling first, is good, but the San Joaquin Gold and Aged Cheddar were great!. We also enjoyed the Purple Moon and Habanero Cheddar, and to a lesser degree the Balsamic & Onion and Truffle Cheddars. We were really happy to find this California Gem and will be happy to enjoy their products going forward!

There's plenty of seating or you can take it to go. They package your sandwich nicely. Out of the three places I reviewed, this was my fav. I'll be out again to try out another sandwich plus the clam chowder.

No complaints about the service as they come out looking for you when you sit outside. Now about the sandwich. I ordered a hot pastrami on dutch crunch.
