No room for sampling out at that wee little table - and don't get me wrong - I don't mind tourists as a whole, but stating, "We came all the way from "Overseas", and you don't have any cheese for us to try?" does not increase my desire to be responsive (in the positive) to such an entitled attitude.
Did I just say that? Yes. Yes, I did. I'm not unwrapping a cheese that's for sale, so some la-di-da vacationer trying to impress/intimidate me with how far they can afford to travel, can eat it without making a purchase.
Did the other cheesemakers sample out their products in the rain? Yes, they did (bless their lil' hearts).

It was cold, mitten and multiple-layers-wearing weather.
