The merry-go-round (also known as a carousel) is an amusement ride that consists of a rotating circular platform with seats on it for its riders. Its seats are traditionally in rows and are made up of wooden horses or other animals mounted on posts. Many of the animals are made to move up and down to simulate galloping and are accompanied by circus music. Names of the animals commonly consist of Galloper, Jumper, Roundabout, Horseabout and Flying Horses. Any rotating platform may also be called a merry-go-round. On a playground, it is usually a child-powered rotating platform with bars or handles to which children can cling while riding. The earliest known depiction of the merry-go-round is in 500 A.D. in the Byzantine Empire, which depicts baskets, carrying riders, suspended from a central pole. In the 1840s, Franz Wiesenoffer created the first merry-go-round in the United States in Hessville, Ohio. July 25, 1871 – The first carousel patent.

National Wine and Cheese Day provides an opportunity to sample some of our favorites in a social gathering or simply as a way to expand our palate. The pairing of Wines and Cheese has a long tradition of being regionalized. Across wine producing cultures, each will have traditional approaches to pairing their local wines and cheeses. For example, the French Brie region has long been noted for its many tannic wine varietals such as Beaujolais as well as for its Brie cheese production. That doesn’t stop a sommelier or cheesemonger from making recommendations to their clientele. Sampling the complexities in sweetness and acidity and comparing them at a tasting makes for an enjoyable experience.
