Exploring Cheese & wine 101:

In this single session, we will provide a roadmap for matching various cheese types with the wines that best suit them. We will introduce cheese basics, including milk types, textures, flavours, how to care for and serve fine cheeses. Then learn about how to approach the wines that you choose to pair with cheese. Sample some of the marriages made in heaven and discover pairings that suit your own personal taste.
