Global has always been tops in my book.
However - I had to leave in '07 and have not yet experienced the renovations.
The 'Wall O' Cheese' through which you convened with the staff seems to have been torn down and put into United Nations approved refrigerators. That wall was the stuff of legends, of myths! Can they continue to graciously offer up samples & suggestions without it? I seriously miss both the wall and the utterly unearthly smell that hit you like a wet fish when you entered the place. I am not kidding. A cheese shop that doesn't smell is like a zoo with stuffed animals.
If they still got the aroma, the attitude, the generosity, and the top-notch knowledgeable staff as before -- well, the place could only get better! I can't wait to make my next pilgrimage down there and find out, and spend minimum $30 on the following day's snacks.
