The first cheese I sampled during the BetterTV shoot at Casellula on Friday: Pavé Sauvage (a Pasteurized Cow’s Milk Cheese from Perigord, France) served with Red Wine Cherries.

Red Wine Cherries

8 oz (1/2 pound) Dried Cherries
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 Bottle Red Wine
1 Vanilla Bean, scraped

Combine all ingredients in pot and cook over medium heat until you achieve a syrupy consistency.
