we have wonderful dishes to celebrate the new year. >> ...delicious pies... >> all our products are 100% handmade, hand crafted. our pie crusts are hand-molded, and we make everything fresh. >> ...and pamper your skin. >> people who loved our brand just really rallied around us. >> but first, the perfect pairings. ♪ >> one of my jobs is to be able to pair our wines with delicious cheeses, and it is one of the great loves of my job. it means i get to drink great wine and eat great cheese. it's true, i always tell people take a moment right now and you can be jealous. ♪ people love cheese and people love wine, and so they're a very natural pairing. i think that cheese and wine go so well together partly because

cheese tends to have a saltiness. all wine has a fruit component, right? it's made from grapes, and so i think that it just becomes this balance. the goal is for it to be enjoyable, but the ones that are most memorable, and we've all had them, right, where you can remember where you were and you can remember the smell. you remember all these parts about it because you have this bite and you have this sip, and yeah, literally, it's like, "ahh," you know? the clouds part and it's something that stays with you for life. ♪ my job as a cheese expert or cheese specialist is i get to focus on wine and cheese pairings. my job is to find the perfect pairings, find that really -- the right cheese to go with the right wine so you have the best experience and you're gonna remember that cheese and wine. there are so many amazing cheese makers around the world, but i tend to focus mostly on sonoma county or east california cheeses. ♪ ♪

one of the few things i knew as a kid was that i wanted to cook, until i actually started as a dishwasher when i was 14. very rare, very, very lucky, and i just stuck with it. it was something -- i grew up in an italian household. you can tell by this. so my grandmother or my nana always cooking, my mom always cooking. even my dad, who's not italian, great cook, and so i just grew up around really wonderful food. ♪ don't be intimidated by making a cheese board. it's really important to pick cheeses that you know that you like. if you have multiple cheeses like i have here, you can try something new. you know, be adventurous, but there's a few components that i think are really important. one of them is changing it up a little bit. so, making sure you have not just one animal milk represented and not just one texture represented. i've got sheep's milk, cow's milk, goat's milk represented. i've got different textures of cheeses ranging from, you know, a fresh chèvre to a triple cream to something firmer here, and i

think that really gives some diversity. right here i've got chevoo -- that fun name chevoo. this is a young chèvre goat cheese made in healdsburg. this right here is from cowgirl creamery. this is their mt. tam that they make in the shape of a heart, right, so this time of year for valentine's day. this is a triple cream. then we go to bohemian creamery boho belle. this is a great creamery out of sebastopol. and then we get into some firmer-textured cheese. cypress grove midnight moon, an aged gouda-style goat cheese. we've got nicasio reserve, this really nice cow's milk cheese. it's got some great crumbly texture. san andreas from bellwether farms, a really lovely sheep's milk cheese. and then, of course, point reyes blue cheese, which is, like, an institution for where we live. i mean, that's what they're known for. adding other things to the board not only makes it delicious, but it also adds some color and texture, and so for example, here i've got -- this is called hoshigaki, and this is a really traditional japanese method where you peel the outside of the persimmon and then you let it hang and air dry, and it
