01:00♪♪
01:10Good morning, Brie!
01:11Ashley! Perfect timing to be my guinea pig.
01:14Ooh, what am I trying today?
01:15This is the recipe for sweet and sour goat brie that I've been experimenting with.
01:19Mmm, that's incredible. Just like all the cheese that you make.
01:23Seriously, if I didn't work for you, I'd be your best customer.
01:28So?
01:31Don't keep me in suspense.
01:33Well, it's a combination of Tupelo honey and organic cranberries.
01:37No, not the recipe. How did the date go?
01:39Total bust.
01:40No, what happened?
01:42Turns out he's lactose intolerant.
01:45Ooh, yeah, that would be a deal breaker.
01:47I mean, he's a nice guy, but really, what on earth would we talk about?
01:51Or eat?
01:52Hey, at least you left your cheese lap and you got back out there.
01:56And the first date after a breakup is always hard,
01:58but as long as you're trying, you're destined to meet someone.
02:01Who knows, maybe the man of your dreams is just going to walk into the shop and buy some Limburger.
02:06Ooh, well, the man of my dreams wouldn't be buying Limburger.
02:08But you get my point.
02:10Yes, I don't need to go out of my way looking for a relationship.
02:13I just need to be willing to let one find me.
02:16Exactly.
02:17Okay, I will keep that in mind.
02:19Starting next week.
02:20Marie, you shouldn't let one iffy date ruin it for the rest of them.
02:24That's not it.
02:26The cheese festival kicks off today.
02:28Our busiest, most important week of the entire year.
02:31Yeah, okay.
02:32The last thing I have time for is romance.
02:39It's so good.
02:41So, how does it feel to finally be releasing your smoked Gouda into the world?
02:45Bittersweet.
02:46I bet.
02:47Four years is a long time to commit to anything.
02:50Well, it's the longest relationship I've ever had, so yeah, I'd say so.
02:54Well, it'll all be worth the effort if it makes the podium this weekend.
02:58It's not good enough this year.
03:00I have to win gold and dethrone Lambert Farms.
03:03Well, if anyone can put an end to their five-year winning streak, it is you and your smoked Gouda.
03:08I appreciate the best friend blinders.
03:10Hey, I may be biased, but I am also a great judge of cheese.
03:13And your Gouda is better than great.
03:15It's as good as it gets.
03:17You think it's as good as gold?
03:19Your grandpa would be proud.
03:22It would be nice to honor his memory with a win.
03:25Plus, that $50,000 prize would go a long way in helping to pay off the loan for the renovation.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Let's just hope the judges think it's worth it.
03:36And here are your lanyards and festival programs.
03:41Oh, and I had the hotel upgrade your rooms.
03:44Wow, thank you. That's very generous of you.
03:46Well, we're just so thrilled that your website is covering the whole week's worth of events.
03:50And I am personally excited for the fondue seminar you're hosting.
03:55We've had some great guests.
03:57I'm sure you'll have a great time.
04:00And I am personally excited for the fondue seminar you're hosting.
04:04We've had such a high demand that we had to put it in the bigger room.
04:07Wow, can't beat a class where you get to eat your work.
04:10Would you mind? I'm so sorry.
04:13Can you sign this for me?
04:15Sure.
04:16Great.
04:22Thank you so much.
04:25And if you need anything, I'm always around.
04:28I'm going to let you know. Thank you.
04:31Hey, Jack, congratulations.
04:33You just passed 100,000 followers on Instagram.
04:35Wow, that's great.
04:36Yeah, that feature you did on Farm to Table Bistro had the most views our website has ever seen.
04:41You know, you should really consider focusing more on in-depth pieces like that.
04:44Yeah, definitely.
04:46There's only one local shop that entered the competition.
04:49Breeze Cheese.
04:50That's a good name.
04:51They're entering a four-year-old smoked gouda. Wow.
04:54Looks like you just found your next cheese to review.
04:56Yeah. You got time to buy me some?
04:58Actually, I can't.
05:00Lambert Farms just sent over some images for their new ad.
05:02I should probably get that up.
05:04We've got to keep our biggest sponsor happy.
05:06No problem. I can grab it.
05:07Thanks.
05:10It's a nice place.
05:11Yeah, I heard the rooms are actually pretty spacious.
05:14Mm.
05:17Mm-hmm.
05:20So you're in town for Cheese Fest, I'm guessing?
05:23Mm-hmm.
05:24I sprung for the Big Cheese VIP All-Access Pass.
05:27It wasn't cheap, but I plan on getting my money's worth.
05:30I'm sure you will.
05:32You know, there's lots of fun and informative events all weekend.
05:36I'm actually hosting a couple myself.
05:38I know. I signed up for your tasting workshop,
05:40and I'm doing one of your shop tours.
05:42Great.
05:45So, what do you think?
05:47Mm.
05:49They are all so delicious.
05:51I can't make up my mind.
05:53I'm just going to have to do another pass.
05:55Have you seen our new line of cheese-themed aprons?
05:59What?
06:01Why don't you browse around?
06:03I'm sure you'll find something.
06:05What?
06:06Why don't you browse around a bit, give your palate a break,
06:09and then get back over here and retry all the samples again?
06:13That is an excellent idea.
06:15I will be back.
06:18Thank you for your patience.
06:20How can I help you?
06:21Well, I'd like to start with eight ounces of your vintage smoked Gouda.
06:25Oh, yeah. We actually just released that today.
06:28It's our shop's entry into the state championships this weekend.
06:31So I've heard.
06:33I'll also try some of your truffle and salt Toscano.
06:37And that halloumi looks good as well.
06:42Those are some deep cuts.
06:43What can I say?
06:44The cheese game's all about the B-sides.
06:48Is there anything else you'd recommend?
06:50My sweet and sour goat brie. Definitely.
06:53Then I'll definitely try that as well.
06:56You look really familiar. Have we met before?
06:58Maybe you've seen my face around your store?
07:01So you're a local now?
07:04Burlington, so not far.
07:06Excuse me.
07:08Would it be possible to get a picture with you for my Insta?
07:11Absolutely.
07:12Amazing. Do you mind taking it?
07:15Yeah, sure.
07:19Of course.
07:23Oh, could you shoot landscape?
07:25Shoot at landscape.
07:27Okay, ready?
07:32You're Jack Wolfe?
07:34I mean, sorry, you both obviously know that.
07:42I just love your blog.
07:44Very nice of you to say.
07:45So many cheese adjectives and it's so good.
07:52So when you said I've seen your face around my store,
07:54you meant literally staring at me every day.
07:57Jack Wolfe, but you obviously know that.
08:01Would you happen to be this shop's namesake?
08:03Yes, Brie Belanger.
08:05Nice to meet you.
08:06You too.
08:08Sorry for being a bit stealthy.
08:10You should get my webmaster by the cheeses I'm going to review,
08:12but he was busy.
08:15So you're going to review me?
08:17Yeah, well, your cheese.
08:19I hope that's okay.
08:21Absolutely.
08:22Yeah, absolutely.
08:24I hope that's okay.
08:26Absolutely.
08:27Yeah, it's great.
08:28I mean, it's more than okay,
08:30because everything that you ordered is excellent.
08:32Great.
08:33I mean, obviously, that's up for you to decide, not me.
08:35I don't want you to think that I'm trying to influence you
08:38or anything like that.
08:39Okay, then.
08:40I don't think that I need to influence you, you know.
08:43I just, I don't want you to think that I'm worried.
08:46Okay, right.
08:47Not that I'm overly confident either.
08:48You know, I'm like right in the middle.
08:50You know, like just in that sweet spot right down the center.
08:54It's like, I'm going to stop talking now.
08:56Right.
09:01This is probably why you normally have your webmaster
09:03buy your cheese for you.
09:04Yeah, something like that.
09:08So, um,
09:10just approximately when do you think that this review
09:14might be posted on your website?
09:17Oh, later this afternoon.
09:18That quickly?
09:20Yeah.
09:21That's quick.
09:23Which is great.
09:24Yay.
09:26Well, it was nice to meet you, Bree.
09:28Maybe we'll bump into each other
09:30at some event festivities this week.
09:35Not if I bump into you first.
09:41When I stick my foot in my mouth,
09:43I like to chase it with some cheddar.
09:50Refresh, again.
09:52Okay.
09:54No.
09:55I still can't believe you didn't recognize Jack Wolf.
09:58In my defense, he was wearing a hat.
10:01And you're basically the only person in the entire industry
10:03who's never once read his blog.
10:05Fair enough.
10:06But I am well aware of how influential his website is.
10:09Mm-hmm.
10:10A good review could really help business.
10:12Yeah, and a bad review could hurt it.
10:13Again.
10:14Bree, it's like a watch pot that never boils.
10:16Refreshing the webpage every...
10:18Oh, wait, it worked.
10:19What does it say?
10:20Okay.
10:22Bree's Cheese is a quaint artisan cheese shop
10:25located in downtown Montpelier.
10:27Okay, just skip ahead to the actual review, please.
10:29Okay.
10:30The vintage smoked gouda,
10:31which is simultaneously sharp, sweet, and salty,
10:35is well worth its four-year wait.
10:37Wow!
10:38This world-class offering is surely among the favorites
10:40to take home the gold medal at this weekend's championship.
10:45Okay, okay.
10:47I don't know why I've never read his blog before
10:49because clearly Jack Wolf knows his stuff.
10:52What does he say about my goat cheese?
10:54Let me see.
11:06He thought it was good.
11:09That's the entire review?
11:10Yeah, I mean, that's basically the gist of it.
11:13Ashley.
11:14Okay, it's not a big deal.
11:16He just felt that it was a bit, um...
11:20goaty.
11:23Goaty?
11:24Goaty.
11:25It's goat cheese.
11:27What did he expect?
11:28Well, he did say it was unexpected.
11:31As in unexpectedly delicious?
11:34More like unexpectedly lacking any depth
11:37or complexity of flavor.
11:39He basically thought it tasted like goat and only goat.
11:43Well, I take back what I said.
11:45Jack Wolf knows jack squat about cheese.
11:47Okay, Brie.
11:48Honey, he had glowing things to say about your other cheeses.
11:51Maybe he's just not that into goat cheese.
11:53Or maybe he can't tell his Roquefort from his ricotta.
11:56Brie, sweetie, I know you put your heart and your soul
11:59into everything that you make,
12:00but you can't please every palate every time.
12:02Big picture?
12:04This review is great.
12:15♪
12:46♪
12:56First low-low warning.
12:58Yeah, that review has brought us a ton of tourists
13:00in town for Cheese Fest.
13:01Your smoked good has been flying off the shelves.
13:04Unlike my goat cheese, I assume?
13:05No, we've actually had quite a few buyers.
13:07Really?
13:08Yeah, people are curious to see if it really is that goaty.
13:11Which it isn't, of course.
13:13Whatever, Jack Wolf is entitled to his own opinion,
13:16even if it's incorrect.
13:17Well, I am of the opinion that I am hungry,
13:20so the food trucks are finally open.
13:22Are the cheesesteak trucks back?
13:23All the way from Philly.
13:24Ooh, I love this time of year.
13:26I know, you do.
13:29♪
13:50Two cheesesteaks to go.
13:52Extra whiz, please.
13:55And we should see if we can get an interview
13:57with that head judge.
13:58I'll talk to him tonight at the opening reception.
14:00Great, I think that covers it.
14:02Except we still have to come up with some big festival feature.
14:05What about doing something on the Lambert Farms dynasty?
14:08That might seem a bit disingenuous
14:09considering they're our biggest advertiser.
14:11Ah, that's true.
14:12And five years of cheese domination
14:14does lack a bit of heart.
14:16What about if we took the opposite approach
14:18and we profiled that shop I reviewed yesterday?
14:21Opposite how?
14:22Local artisan cheese shop owner
14:24spent the past four years aging her entry.
14:27Attempting to dethrone the juggernaut champions,
14:30Lambert Farms.
14:31Oh.
14:32Kind of like the Rocky of ricotta.
14:34I like that.
14:35Yeah, I'll go pitch the honor.
14:37Let's go.
14:38First, I need to eat something.
14:39You hungry?
14:40Oh, no, I had a late breakfast.
14:41Okay, I'll see you at the reception.
14:53Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:55I...
14:57Well, you did say you hoped we'd bump into each other again.
15:00Yeah, I meant it in more of a figurative sense.
15:03Here, let me...
15:04I'll help you.
15:05No, it's...
15:07I...
15:12It's hardly noticeable.
15:14It is.
15:15It is.
15:16It is.
15:17It is.
15:18It is.
15:19It is.
15:20It is.
15:21It's hardly noticeable.
15:22Yeah, yeah.
15:23That's, uh...
15:24That's much better.
15:35Well, thanks for the sweatshirt.
15:37Thanks for the review.
15:38Brought in a lot of new customers.
15:40I'm glad.
15:41I really thought your cheese was exceptional.
15:43Well, not all of it.
15:45Yes, for whatever reason,
15:46your goat brie didn't totally do it for me.
15:48I understand.
15:49Your sense of taste is limited.
15:51As in limited to good taste?
15:53It was goat cheese.
15:55Goat is literally in the name.
15:57Well, I guess our palates are just a bit disparate.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Mine's highly tuned,
16:01while yours would be better suited to review,
16:03say, grilled cheese sandwiches.
16:07How about this?
16:08How about a cheese truce?
16:09Because I have a proposition for you
16:11that I think you're going to like.
16:13I'm listening.
16:14What would you say to me doing a profile on your shop?
16:17That sounds fantastic.
16:18More press means more sales.
16:20Right, Brady?
16:21Assuming your interviewing skills
16:23are more refined than your taste buds.
16:25How about this?
16:26If I can change your mind about my limited expertise,
16:29can you do the profile?
16:32Deal.
16:39Okay, this is a recipe that I've been experimenting with,
16:43but I haven't released it yet.
16:45But I haven't released it yet.
17:04Okay.
17:05Now, this is only a guess,
17:08but I say it's an jereño
17:12made from a combination of sheep, goat, and cow's milk,
17:15which you then sweeten with caramelized fig and cactus fruit
17:19right before smoking it for 3 1⁄2 to 3 3⁄4 hours.
17:23Oh, and you added a dash of hairball and pepper
17:25just to give it some kick.
17:32Am I close?
17:33Lucky guess.
17:35Well, I guess the truce starts now.
17:38Only because you got cactus fruit.
17:40Nobody ever gets that.
17:41That's strange.
17:42I wouldn't think someone with such a limited palate
17:44would be able to pick up on that.
17:46All right, so when do we get started on this profile?
17:51Well, I think we just did.
18:00I never thought I'd hear myself say this,
18:02but I don't think I can eat another bite of cheese.
18:04Oh, that's too bad. We were just getting started.
18:07You're...
