Holiday Cheer is a showstopper both on a board and in a case. Wrapped like a pretty package, Holiday Cheer is a nod to the Wisconsin Old Fashioned Cocktail and leaf-wrapped cheeses. Cheesemaker Veronica Pedraza takes fragrant Japanese Sakura leaves soaked in Korbel Brandy, and carefully wraps each citrus-flecked puck of chèvre by hand.
