Glorious Cheese - Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd February 2008
After our success as Winner of Best Cheese Board at the 2007 British Cheese Awards we are offering for the first time a cheese master class from renowned cheese expert Julia Harbutt. Amazingly she will be supported by Alex James, formerly a band member with Blur, but now an artisan cheese maker from the Cotswold. As two prominent members of the cheese revolution taking place in Britain, it is a great opportunity to experience the world of cheese.
A weekend of cheese, wine and food with a master class in the day and a dinner in the evening. Unravel the myths & misconceptions behind the world of cheese & wine and food. Learn to recognise different types of cheeses, identify the characteristics of the main grape varieties and experience the joy of uncovering the perfect match. How a wine can literally bring out the best in one cheese, adding to the sensual experience of dining while leaving the taste-buds to dive for cover with the next.
We’re not talking malolactic fermentation or viticulture, but knowing a Pinot Noir from a Merlot, your Chablis from your Sancerre. So whether you are thinking of a career in wine, dining out with clients or simply entertaining at home, you will never again be intimidated by a wine list, a wine waiter, or the cheese trolley.
Inspirational, informative and designed for anyone who loves food and wants to develop a knowledge of wine and cheese and food. |
