The Killington Wine Festival is set to run this coming weekend. Here at Birch Ridge, we will be hosting a wine dinner on Saturday evening. For the food to go with the wine, we have aimed somewhat at a Vermont theme, featuring where ever possible items procured in Vermont. One of the items we are going to integrate into the dinner is cheese produced at the Plymouth Cheese Factory, in Plymouth Vermont, at the Calvin Coolidge birthplace.

The cheese is a "granular stirred curd" cheese, produced at the Plymouth Cheese Factory by a company whimsically named Frog City Cheese. The cheese is made using an original process handed down by the Coolidge family for generations. The cheese has a tangy, rich flavor, and will be used at the wine dinner as one of the table cheeses accompanying the dessert course.
