Cheese…YES, PLEASE – Session 4
September 28, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Join us for this new series as we take a journey exploring everything you ever wanted to know about cheese.
From how it’s made and the many different varieties to the magic that happens when paired with the right wine. Have you ever wondered which cheese can stay out of refrigeration, or what ‘aged’ really means? Each course, you’ll enjoy 5 cheeses and pair them with 4 wines.
Session 4: Back to School—History, Civics and Science This session has us starting a new chapter and going beyond the basics. We will review, cover a brief history of European wine & cheese, and you’ll learn English with British cheese! Finally, we will look at American Farmstead cheese and discuss the golden rule; when it comes to wine and cheese, it’s all about the science!
