Recently Discovered 40-Year-Old Wisconsin Cheddar
When Edward Zahn decided in May to close his cheese shop in Oconto, he made a discovery that is going to drive cheese lovers more bonkers than the 15-year-old cheddar released by Hook’s Cheese in Mineral Point in 2009. In the back of his walk-in cooler, Zahn, 73, found several wooden boxes of cheddar … Continue reading
Packers Shareholders Set Record Showing At Lambeau
Met up with about 25,000 other Green Bay Packers shareholders today at Lambeau Field and got to check out the new renovations (nearly complete), and we need to take credit for setting an off-field record of showing up enmass like we do for all the Packers events and games. While I’ve been shooting them as … Continue reading

They also have two (or more) other shops in the Milwaukee area, but this was the only one we made it to on our last trip. Lots … Continue reading
Classic Meets Modern At The Milwaukee Public Market
The Milwaukee Public Market is not what one might expect on first glance. Somewhat hidden under an overpass and series of bridges in downtown Milwaukee, you have to know where you are going to find it. Once inside, however, this seeming rustic place becomes a world of unique and interesting shops, stands, and a wine … Continue reading
Chateau St. Croix & The Cheesehead White Wine
In honor of the New Year we thought it only fitting to talk about one of Wisconsin’s lesser known attractions, its wineries. Just like the breweries all over the state, micro-wineries have become quite popular and prosperous for embracing the cheesehead culture as part of what they are all about. We had the pleasure of … Continue reading
Rhinelander Beer & Hodags In The Great Northwoods
We had the great pleasure of interviewing Brenda O’Rourke, Head of Marketing for the Rhinelander Brewing Company, when we went in search of Hodags in Rhinelander this fall. Rhinelander Beer is best known for the 7 oounce shorties in the amazingly cool looking little bottles. What we loved most about them, besides the pleasing taste … Continue reading
