Karen,

What a great connection you have with Saltspring!
Groan. Be still, my yearning tastebuds! We do, of course, have access to many incredible cheeses here, but I always remember the things that aren't readily available to us. We had a regional cheese tasting course when we were in Vancouver in 2001, and as I recall all of them were really top notch.

We've had some in other places, including Ontario and a couple of places in the Maritimes, but we look forward to making it back to Vancouver before too long.
