| Welcome to the Cheesetique June Newsletter
Greetings, Cheese Lovers! The sun is high, the air is thick, and the breeze is absent. You can almost hear the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald singing, " "A-tisket A-tasket; A yummy cheese-filled basket"... Ok - maybe this is a stretch, but I am overcome by the undeniable urge to picnic till my dog don't know me! Every night we sit inside and stare at the lawn while dreaming of butterflies, not mosquitoes, circling our heads. So, we save our picnics for the weekends, filling our blanket with salamis, olives, artichokes, gooey cheese, and crusty bread. And of course, delicious chilled wine. Follow our lead! Pick your fromage favorites, plunk down on your favorite patch of grass, and dig in! Tomato-Friendly Cheeses Are Here From Buffalo Mozzarella to Stracchino to Burrata to blue cheese, anything that you can smack on a tomato will make your day tastier. Just remember to keep it simple - let the fresh ingredients be the stars of the show and hold the vinegar for now. This Month's Cheese Class: Cheese Your Neighbors Will Smell: Stinky Redux I often hear requests to repeat certain classes, but none so common as the Stinky Cheese class from August, 2005! So, here it is again, dear fans of ripeness. For those of you that attended before, have no fear! The cheeses are ALL different, but super-stinky in their own right. We will learn about washed rind cheeses and taste a bunch of truly intense creations. Noseplugs are optional :) The cost is $20 per person and you can expect to spend about an hour and a half learning and tasting. Beverages and accompaniments will be served. Act quickly - this will fill up in no time! The available dates are: Wednesday, June 20, 7:15 PM Thursday, June 21, 7:15 PM Thursday, June 28, 7:15 PM Tuesday, July 10, 7:15 PM Wednesday, July 11, 7:15 PM Tuesday, July 17, 7:15 PM Wednesday, July 18, 7:15 PM Email tastings@cheesetique.com to sign up. Let me know the date(s) you prefer and how many are in your party. If you are available on more than one date, please let me know. That way, we can fit more folks. Please note: Once we fit you into a slot, I will send you a Paypal invoice so you can pay securely online. If you need to cancel (48 hours advance notice, please), we will refund the full amount minus the Paypal fee. Remember - Picnic till the cows come home!

Featured Product: Napa Valley Dipping Oils These fantabulous (yes, I made up that word) dipping oils come in three flavors: Garlic Parmesan, Classic, and Garden Herb. They are super-convenient, since all you have to do it shake and pour. But these all-natural accent oils will knock your socks off! Dip crusty bread, drizzle on fish, chicken, roasted veggies, even pizza! It's a whole new way to take a dip this summer. Only $13.00 each at Cheesetique. |
