Connections: Finger Lakes Cheese Trail

The rise of the cheese trail. Specifically, the Finger Lakes cheese trail has shed the training wheels. It might not be quite as expansive as the wine trail, but you can stop and taste cheeses, and this weekend marks the Finger Lakes Cheese Festival. This comes at a time when Senator Chuck Schumer is defending the cheese industry as a vital economic engine; recent regulations threatened certain parts of it. So we talk cheese with:

Carmella Hoffman, Sunset View Creamery
Carol Fingar, Finger Lakes Cheese Festival
Ann Duckett, Little Bleu Cheese Shop
