Cheese, like wine, can be very confusing at first: foreign names, odd shapes, and so many to
choose from! Join Charlie Adler, President of TasteDC, "Master of Cheese" (completed through
Artisanal's Cheese School based in New York City) full-time "foodie" and author of DC's
own wine book "I Drink on the Job" (see Bio below) as we explore the many nuances
of artisanal cheeses. If you're new to cheese or you're simply confused by all the choices
in the local cheese case, then this class is for you! This class will also pair wines that
perfectly accompany the cheese styles you'll be tasting

This Class Will Cover:
-Differences between farmstead, artisanal and commercial cheeses,
-Cow vs. sheep vs. goat milk cheeses,
-Basic cheese making processes: the milk, the rennet and the curd,
-Different “styles” of cheese: soft-ripened, washed-rind, blue and fresh vs. aged cheeses,
-Cheese selection, storing and creating an awesome cheese plate,
-Pairing wine and cheese
We will taste a total of 10 cheeses and 5 wines in this class
