A Corkscrew, a Corkscrew, my Cheesecake for a Corkscrew

It was because of our annual wine soaked pilgrimage to the woods for a dose of culture that I invented a new cheesecake. In an attempt to class up an old favorite and celebrate a dear friend's belated birthday, I turned chocolate swirl cheesecake into Chocolate Covered Almond Swirl Cheesecake. Hauling a cheesecake out the woods for a pre-play picnic, especially when it does not fit in your cooler, is a difficult undertaking. That is why I decided to leave some essentials at home like wine glasses and a corkscrew. To be fair my bottle was a cava and needed no corkscrew. Well, I was not the only one who did not bring a corkscrew, and we ended up with three bottles of wine we couldn't open. Luckily we were able to borrow a corkscrew from some kind picnickers a few feet away. As a reward we gave them the rest of the cheesecake thereby solving the problem of what to do with the leftovers. Not only did my friends enjoy the cheesecake, but the other group seemed to find it delicious as well. For this reason, I have decided that cheesecake is indeed pie and I will be posting the recipe for this particular cheesecake on my blog. Enjoy!
