BEST NEW TUMBLR: Matthew Rubiner, proprietor of the wonderful cheese & grocers & cafe Rubiner’s/rubi’s, in Great Barrington, MA - some place you simply must go if you are in the Berkshires - is now online. He is an excellent writer and has one of the country’s best minds when it comes to cheese. I expect glorious, gluttonous photos and stories about cheese, featuring cheese in sandwiches and various food combinations that will make you weep - as soon as he starts tagging his posts with subjects like “cheese” and “food,” you know?
