Sac Bee restaurant critic Blair Anthony Robertson scores a couple more tidbits about The Rind ahead of its opening on Thursday.
How will it work when you walk into The Rind? For one thing, the atmosphere will be relaxed. Visitors can select one of the designated cheese samplers, featuring three cheeses, or select their own cheeses to enjoy. The Rind is also going to feature artisan grilled cheese sandwiches and mac & cheese, all with top-quality cheeses and breads.
At every step of the way, the staff will be on hand to provide details about the cheeses, answer questions and give suggestions for pairings. There will be 15-20 wines at first, some available by the glass, along with six beers on tap and 10 in bottles
This is a small operation. Arbabian's husband, Stephen Tatterson, will be helping out after he gets off from his day job. There will also be a couple of other employees starting out.
If you're interested in the fascinating world of cheese and are looking for a different kind of food and beverage experience, The Rind just might become a destination for you.

My favorite restaurant reviews to read are the ones where I learn about a new cuisine or that feature a restaurant I've never heard of. Luckily for me, Sac Bee restaurant reviewer Blair Anthony Robertson provided both an explainer in Peruvian food and a review of Roseville's off-the-radar La Huaca.
During our visits to La Huaca, we found the fish to be exceptionally fresh, with that crisp, clean favor up front on the palate that's a telltale sign that it is at its best. There are five ceviches on the menu, all sizable portions suitable for sharing for $14.95. My favorites were the clasico, a basic white fish presentation that demonstrates this classical – and rather magical – technique with seafood; and the de Rocoto, a ceviche covered in a creamy and mildly spicy rocoto sauce.
Adventurous diners open to sharing and exploring will do best by ordering a sampler and comparing the subtle differences by choosing three of five available ceviches for $29.90...
We also delved into the equally impressive seafood side of the menu and were especially impressed with the calamari, firm but tender and universally difficult to get right. Our favorite was the hearty comfort dish called arroz del Pacifico Sur, in which we encountered perfectly prepared calamari and plump shrimp "flamed" in that Pisco liquor and served with rice and aji sauce.

The restaurant's 22 miles from Downtown Sacramento. After reading the review, it might be time to pay a visit to the 'burbs.

The Beer Run: Sacramento pizzerias making craft beer their business - Of all the pizzerias in town, two stand out as bona fide destinations for the serious beer connoisseur. Extreme Pizza on Exposition Boulevard and Hot City Pizza on J Street in east Sacramento may look like modest, unassuming pizza joints. But their beer selections have transformed their business models. Although Extreme Pizza is a chain, this one is unique. It has 11 taps featuring craft beers exclusively. Hot City has 14 taps and a small but obsessively curated selection of bottled beer for sale. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.
Pizza, short ribs at Redd Wood in Yountville - Somewhere in the middle is Redd Wood. It's a "casual wine-country pizzeria" opened in January 2012 by Richard Reddington. Think of it as the younger, hipper sister of the more adult Redd, the chef's Michelin star-holding dining house nearby that offers "an updated interpretation of wine country cuisine with influences from Asia, Europe and Mexico." Allen Pierleoni in the Sac Bee.
