Our summer foray to Bistro des Copains doesn't have us running back. But since our visit, the chef has changed although the menu is extremely similar. We liked that it's very true to it's bistro name, offering french-style comfort food in a casual setting.

  • Bellingham Blue Irish Farmhouse Cheese
    After visiting Ireland last year and, tasting many of its great cheeses, Joanne decided to compile this directory of Irish Farmstead Artisan cheeses.

    Ireland is famous for its milk, cream and butter – and also lately for its cheese. She’s added tasting notes and photos for a few of the cheeses we encountered on the trip, some of which were bought at Sheridan’s Cheesemongers in Galway, Co. Clare, some at On the Pig’s Back, in the English Market in Cork City, Co. Cork and still others at Trevor Irvine’s stall at St. George’s Market in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

    Many of the cheeses listed in the directory are available in the US, but a number of them you will have to go to Ireland to taste.

  • Thai Marinated Lobster with Avocado, Hearts of Palm and Mango at Cyrus
    We return to Cyrus after a couple of years and have a truly great meal. Prices are up but our recent experience definitely justified the Michelin two stars. The food sets the highest mark in Sonoma county, but we'd still like to see more focus on local purveyors. If elaborate dining is what you seek in Sonoma, Cyrus is the perfect destination for indulgence.

  • Cold Smoked Toro and Osetra Caviar with Crème Fraiche, Spring Onion, warm brioche at Meadowood

  • Yes, monks can make great cheese. Abbaye de Tamie is such an example. It's a washed rind raw cow's milk cheese. It's not so easy to find, but worth the hunt.
