Day 1043: East Ender Cheese

On Thursday mornings and early afternoons on the central grassy Plaza of Montauk, Long Island is a farmer's market highlighting all the most fabulous summertime produce of the East End - plump juicy heirloom tomatoes, fresh lobsters, homemade bread, homemade lemonade, fairy tale eggplant, local wines, cheeses and much much more.

So what cheese was a must for our Labor Day weekend celebrations?

How about Mecox Bay Dairy's Sunrise?

A washed rind aged cow's milk cheese crafted in Bridgehampton, this is the perfect afternoon snacking cheese. Nutty and buttery with an earthy grassy bent. Approachable, yet dynamic. Perfection with a glass of Osprey's Dominion Cabernet Sauvignon on one of the last summertime afternoons.
