“Alp Blossom.” I showed Olivia Harrington and her two grown daughters
the beautiful cheese wheel coated in colorful trimmings of dried grasses and
flowers. It looked plucked from a spring meadow. “This alpine cheese is
made in Austria, but the edible flowers and herbs it’s dressed in are from
the surrounding meadows of Bavaria.”
Olivia and her younger daughter Summer each nibbled at their samples
as the four of us sat at the farm table in my cheese shop’s kitchenette. Yes,
we were up to our twenty-third sample (with no end in sight), but I
wondered how they were even able to taste it with the teensy-weensy bites
they took. Maybe nibbling was how they maintained their size-zero figures.
The diamond on Summer’s ring finger was way bigger than the bite she
took.
Unlike Summer, her older sister Chloe ate the entire portion of
whichever cheese samples she enjoyed and didn’t think twice about
wrinkling her nose and spitting out those she didn’t. Chloe was just as
svelte as her mother and sister, debunking my theory of how nibbling food
sustained their figures. The sisters, both in their late twenties, also inherited
their mother’s aquiline nose, large blue eyes, and thick mane of brunette
hair. Basically, Summer and Chloe looked like Disney princesses.
Summer waited for her mother’s reaction before deciding her own,
which always coincided with Olivia’s. Olivia nodded at the latest cheese
sample in satisfaction, thus Summer did the same. Chloe looked a little
green in the gills from having enjoyed so much cheese—a girl after my own
heart.
As maid of honor, Chloe was the official hostess of Summer’s wedding
shower taking place the following day, and had hired me to do a cheese bar.
However, entrusting a cheesemonger to select cheese was apparently not in
Olivia Harrington’s comfort zone, so the last-minute call came yesterday for
a cheese tasting with the Harrington women. Even though it was a little late
(to say the least) to change my selections and accompaniments, of course I
agreed.
The Harringtons had risen in the ranks as the wealthiest family in
Yarrow Glen after the Lippingers sold their vast acreage of Sonoma Valley
land twenty years ago. Not only were the Harringtons wealthy and
influential, they’d also recently purchased All Things Sonoma magazine
from the Lippingers. I knew Summer’s wedding events would be
highlighted in the magazine prior to a cover story for the six-figure
wedding, which meant my shop would get a mention.
I was feeling slightly queasy from the déjà vu of being appraised by
someone with the magazine. Guy Lippinger had been the magazine’s food
critic and had threatened to give Curds & Whey a bad review just before he
was found murdered outside of my shop last year. I had to remind myself
that his murder investigation was behind me and so were the Lippingers. I
was looking forward to a fresh start with the magazine. This could mean big
things for Curds & Whey.
