The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills is a gourmet foods store in Beverly Hills, California, known for its selection of 500-600 cheeses. It also stocks wines and other delicacies, including the rarest of all caviars, Golden Imperial Osetra,〔 and is often featured in publications such as ''Bon Appétit'' and ''Entrepreneur'' magazine, as a notable epicurean source. The store claims to carry “the largest assortment of goat’s and sheep’s milk cheeses found anywhere”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills )〕 The store’s owner, Norbert Wabnig, has become a noted Los Angeles personality. The store, housed in a refurbished 1920s brick building, has supplied many of Los Angeles' high-end restaurants past and present, including Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, Valentino’s, Patina, and Bar Marmont, as well as Las Vegas’ Bellagio hotel. ==History== The Beverly Hills branch of Cheese Shop International, an East Coast-based franchise, was founded in 1967 by Colonel Sigmund Roth.〔 In 1978, after a few years of the colonel’s declining health, Norbert Wabnig, who had worked at the store by day while pursuing his music career at night, purchased the business and changed its name to The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. He transformed the store’s feel from one of an upscale chain store to the more European style that it retains today. Wabnig has often stated that he likes the community aspect of the store, which often hosts wine tastings. As a way of recognizing the producers of handmade specialty foods from whom he sources his products, in 2004 Wabnig founded the American Artisanal Treasure Awards. Awards are presented for Best Cheese, Best Olive Oil, and Best Condiment. In 2005, the store introduced its house wine, Scoundrel, a cabernet bottled by Sylvester Vineyards in Paso Robles, California. Wabnig’s daughter, Talia, designed the label.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
