Righteous - Washington DC

Located within the up and coming Union Market, Righteous Cheese is a cheese lovers dream. I went for a beer and cheese pairing at their bar. 6 cheeses paired with 3 different beer samples. They offer classes to walk you though the pairing tasting with a history of the cheeses and beers. This is great fun and delicious. For better or worse, the tasting was only about one beer in volume. They offer some wonderful cheeses that expand from the typical cheeses that we've come to know. Yum!

I attended a Google event hosted by Righteous Cheese. I was expecting the usual fare, but they blew me away with unusual selections that paired masterfully with a wine selection. More than just vendors, the staff knew the cheeses, their background, and made the entire experience fun (and delicious). Worth a trip to Union Market. Great date idea too.

Came here for Google Local DC's Wine and Cheese event, and was blown by the selection variation. The speaker knew her stuff from the cheese origins, process, wine production, cultivating methods, proper cheese wrapping methodology, and more. My knowledge in wine and cheese is already on the low end, but the wine and cheese combo was quite interesting. Honestly, I'm not a big wine person, but I really liked two of the three glasses of wine she gave, and all the various types of cheese. If you're new to the wine and cheese culture, check this place out!

A wonderful shop within Union Market boasting a gorgeous selection of cheeses. Firm, creamy, mild, stinky — they have everything one might want, and knowledgable and friendly cheesemongers to help guide your selection. All cheeses are cut to order, ensuring freshness and quality. Cheese pairings are educational and delicious. Absolutely love this place.

Righteous Cheese is more than just another cheese shop. It's your one stop shop for all things cheese. For a booth in Union Market, it's pretty sizeable. Their staff is well trained and can recommend all sorts of cheeses from behind their counter. On top of that here are just a few other things you'll find: All the friends of cheese like jams, meats, and the like (in case you're getting cheese for a picnic). Cheese bags in case you're making your own cheese. Cheese boards in all sorts of material including a giant DC shaped cheese board. Grilled cheese (with a side of hot honey to dip it in). If you love a grilled cheese, stop by for lunch or dinner. If you want a good cheese to munch on, this is your spot!
