master the principles of pairing.
Celebrate a birthday or anniversary with a wine and cheese event. Throw a grilled cheese party for some unique Friday night fun. Take a reception, bridal shower or family gathering to the next level with a cheese & charcuterie table. There are endless ways to enjoy world-class wine and cheese pairings!
During my events, you’ll sample amazing cheeses made by artisanal producers from the United States and across Europe - no supermarket cheeses here - served with special condiments and accoutrements that are every bit as glorious. Think lavender honey from Provence, prosciutto di Parma from northern Italy, or the greatest potato chips you’ve ever had from Spain’s Galician coast! While enjoying each bite, learn all about the history, how its made, and what makes each cheese so special through sharing stories and experiences from my travels abroad, all in a family-friendly, casual way.
And you’ll sip as we go! Wines from around the globe are expertly matched to really knock the pairings out of the park. Are there guests who prefer a cold bottle of suds? No problem. Beer pairing options are available. Are there attendees who prefer not to drink at all? Piece of cake. They can enjoy a range of non-alcoholic pairing options that are every bit as delicious.
Pairing wine and cheese is a special passion for me - I wrote a top-selling book on it! The special relationships I have with suppliers, retailers, and producers from all over the cheese universe give me access to truly special stuff. Contact me to see how I can make your next gathering the tastiest one ever.
My ‘Fair & Easy” Doctrine
For all my events, I handle every detail of sourcing, ordering and shipping everything needed, making sure it gets to each guest on time and in great condition. From the first moment we connect to the conclusion of the event, my priority is a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone from the organizers to the last participants.
Whenever possible, I only use products that come from farmers, producers, and suppliers who share my beliefs in fair trade, equality and organic methods of production. For my in-person events, I use recycled and bamboo plates, napkins and utensils as much as possible. I want to feel good about what I share, and I want you to have confidence as well.
