Last night I went with my friend Hardy Wallace to see Les Claypool play, or rather I should say jam, at Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol. What a fantastic concert. The event was a combination of music, marvel and the release of his newest project, Purple Pachyderm Pinot Noir from the Russian River.
The marvel is what I wanted to focus on today. Raffling off some pretty great prizes if you bought a t shirt or a case of the wine. Now, I’m not musician or famous person really but I do sell T shirts and we do have a pretty sweet deal going on that is clearly being overlooked because everyone is fretting over next week’s holiday.
So we’re sweetening an already great deal. Since we haven’t had the response we’ve aspired to for selling raffle tickets to win the wheel of Ewephoria(aged sheep gouda that people croon over) we are automatically putting your name into the can if you buy one of our very hip Cheese Shop T-shirts! Now you get hang out in style and know that you might be able to bribe your relatives next week into letting you eat the whole pumpkin pie or maybe even deep fry the turkey.
I do have to say that I did wear one our shirts last night to Hopmonk as was recognized because of our logo. So maybe I’m a bit famous. Now I just have to learn to play the guitar.
p.s. T shirts are $26 and they come in shades of gray and black and some in white. You can buy them through our website or call us up. You do not have to present to win the wheel of cheese. If you do win the wheel you can take the whole wheel or you can eat your way through it in increments that can last years!

That’s right folks, Who’s Your Daddy?(yes that’s the company) has brought us the best snack. Bacon pieces tossed with ruffled potato chips. Bacon, potato, salt, bacon more potato. Ridiculous really but just to seal the deal they are great with fresh goat cheese from Bodega Artisan Cheese Company. Specifically the light green chile although the plain crema is just as good.
I consider one bag enough for one person but I guess if you had to share you could easily feed a friend, but a good one do you hear? Someone who understands the combination and loves every finger licking minute of it.
We are selling them for $6 a bag which is a steal if you ask me!
Think of these chips as the long lost relative or an old friend who’s come back into your life. Bring the chips to parties, they make a great hostess gift and if you haven’t completely planned out Thanksgiving this could be your side dish or at least the chips that sit on the couch next to you as you and your family watch football.
We are taking preorders as we know as fast as they appear they will disappear.

Every once in a while we like to set up a friendly competition among staff over a certain product. Boost morale and add a bit of excitement in these depressing economic times. We are promoters of luxury and the good life after all and need to remind ourselves and our customers to take a step back from all the bill paying and penny pinching to relish.
So for November we have two very enticing propositions!
First we are selling a six pack of Syrah from different producers in the area. The six pack comes in a handy metal caddy that we are gifting to the lucky customer who purchases the wine. The catch is to side with your favorite monger: Kate O’Donnell or Cameron Cardoza. There are caddies and bottles and whoever sells the most Syrah gets dinner on “the boss”.
Second we are raffling a wheel of Ewephoria. For $10 a ticket you can try your hand at cheese lotto. We will call the winner the day before Thanksgiving. The wheel weighs in at 9 lbs. and is a $200 value. You can take the whole wheel or let us cut you pieces when you need it. We can properly store the cheese and will have a nice tab waiting here for you. As previous winners of cheese can attest this is the best way to eat through your winnings. Of course we completely understand if you just want to take the winning wheel and hide it under your pillow.
