"After more than two decades as a caterer and culinary educator, Sonoma chef Sheana Davis created her own cheese: Delice de la Vallee, a triple-cream blend of cow's and goat's milk that was immediately snapped up by customers such as the French Laundry," reads the piece

"Her Creme de Fromage soon followed, and next a tiny cheese shop in downtown Sonoma," the article continues. (Guess the folks at the Chronicle weren't familiar with Davis' original shop, in Boyes Hot Springs...)

The critic sampled from Davis' extensive prepared food menu, writing that 'plates tend to be dainty,' and calling the setting 'rustic.'

He continued: "But the flavors are huge, and a few heartier selections can be found, too, such as hand-sliced Widmer's brick cheese layered with salami, greens and aioli on a chewy baguette."
