January Cheese Class: Aging (Cheese) Gracefully

"We don't grow older, we grow riper."
-Pablo Picasso


Age is just a number, right? Well, in the world of cheese, age is a lot more than that. In this month's class, we will learn all about the glorious (and arduous) cheese aging process. Where does all that flavor come from? How can a dairy product last so long? That bacteria is doing what?

To illustrate the lesson, we will compare ten cheeses in young and old states to taste the magic that a little time can create. Finally, what better wines to pair with our aging cheeses than two selections from the oldest operating winery in the world. Intrigued?

Taught by "Cheese Lady" Jill Erber, the class will last about an hour and is $40 per person. You will learn about and taste ten cheeses and two wines. Available dates are 1/22, 1/29 and 1/30, all at 7:00.

Weekly Wine Tasting, Every Saturday 1-4 PM

Tasting is FREE! Please join us...

Monthly Cheese & Wine Classes

Cheesetique hosts monthly cheese classes, taught by our very own Cheese Lady, Jill Erber. Cheese classes are usually about an hour long and include education, conversation, and of course, sampling of ten different cheeses and two matching wines.

We also host monthly wine classes, expertly taught by guest instructors. Wine classes are usually about an hour and a half long and include education, conversation, and of course, sampling of eight different wines and six matching cheeses.

Topics and dates are sent out in our email newsletter at the beginning of the month. You then sign up for a class online. To receive the Cheesetique newsletters, enter your email address at the right.
