Mead and roquefort? He had to have read Ken Schramm's reply to the Slate article, "Is Mead Poised for a Comeback?"
http://fray.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/916128.aspx?ArticleID=2184361
from Ken's reply:
These truths about mead are becoming well known to some in the
wine world. There are plenty of us laying our favorite meads in next
to our everyday bottles of Clos Roche Blanche, our '03 Montrose and
our favorite bottles of Mongeard Mugneret. The folks at the lead of
this comeback are not wearing horned helmets on their heads, they
are seeking to craft meads that can satisfy even the most discerning
wine or beer snob. Nicholas, I invite you to sample my Cherry mead
with the Roquefort of your choice, in my home if you are willing.
Then you will be know how well a great mead can compliment a
great food.
Ken
We were discussing it over on this GotMead thread:

I guess you can say that mead is becoming main stream when someone pokes fun at mead connoisseurs! ;D ;D ;D
