Why is the impression that comes to my mind when reading this of a
school of piranhas going after a carcass? :-)

Wish this were closer. I hope a new one will eventually take its
place for you.

Recently there was some conversation about cheese with elderberry
wine in it. The day after this conversation I was in my local
grocery and saw Derby cheese with Elderberry Wine, so I bought some.
The brand was "Dairy Crest" and says "Imported from England" and
the ingredient list lists elderberry wine and cochineal (color).
$9.99/lb.

An interesting cheese.
