Our Culinary Partner
So Damn Gouda - Denver CO
Mike Keuler, the cheese-lover behind So Damn Gouda, is a professionally trained chef living in Denver, CO. Mike began his culinary career at Johnson & Wales University and subsequently worked at the award-winning Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, CO. While leading a cured meats and cheese department at a specialty store, Mike fell in love with the world of cheese and specialty food...and has never looked back.
Mike and his wife, Corissa purchased the Cheese + Provisions shop in October 2018 and have now combined the cheese plate delivery business with a beautiful brick and mortar location in the Sunnyside neighborhood in Denver.
Expert cheese selection is paramount and Chef Mike selects his favorite cheese from artisans around the world. So Damn Gouda takes the same care when selecting their specialty dried fruits, pickles, olives, gluten-free crackers, and cured meats. Their fig and red wine reduction jam, crostini, and cheese balls are all created in-house.

7Cellars By John Elway
7Cellars was founded by professional football icon John Elway, and his long-time business partner, Jeff Sperbeck. With the success of Elway’s Steakhouses, John wanted to create a wine that would live up to his ideals and be a proud representation of his family’s name. They partnered with iconic winemaker Rob Mondavi, Jr. to release the company’s first vintage of Reserve wines -with a 2013 Cabernet and a 2014 Chardonnay. After five successful and sold out vintages of the Reserve, 7Cellars has expanded with a new collection. The Farm Collection was released in March of 2020. This collection is offered at a more approachable price point, but with the same superior quality for which the brand is known. Both Elway’s Reserve and The Farm Collection wines are found in retail stores and served in top restaurants and event venues across the country.
