In this episode of Wine World TV, I’m reviewing some Gruyère cheese direct from where it started, Switzerland! These are free samples provided to me and I have free reign to review them. N.B. since this is about the Gruyère cheese AOP and not about any specific producer, I don’t have a producer name.
