Located on Smith Street in Brooklyn, the JakeWalk is a fabulous wine and cheese bar with small plates. An excellent place to catch up with friends, indulge in some delictables and enjoy the setting and your company.
Last night while there with a group of girlfriends we had a variety of their small plates and four of their cheese selections which were outstanding. All of their cheeses are sourced from the stellar cheese shop further south on Smith Street -- Stinky Brooklyn.
Last night we had :
Cremont - Vermont Butter and Cheese's hockey puck sized soft ripened goat's milk cheese which was luscious and creamy and just melted in your mouth in all the right sort of ways!
Harpersfield Double Soak - Hailing from the Catskills, this washed rind cheese walks a fine line between sweet and fruity and briny, yeasty, and salty. A veritable taste bud tango of delish flavors.
Abrigo - Crossing the ocean for our third cheese, this firm aged goat's milk cheese is tangy and bright with a nice citrus forward finish.
Nuvola di Pecora - Lastly we ended in Piedmont, Italy with a fantastically stinky, rich and buttery washed rind sheep's milk cheese.
Overall an excellent selection of cheesy goodness, lovely wines, and wonderful conversation -- a great night was had by all.
