I am so excited to announce my first ever wine and cheese class at Philosophers & Fools book store/wine bar with my good friends from Counter Cheesemongers (Eric Casella & Nora Granger) and the terrific owners of P&F, Jenny Ferrara and Michael Bourke, on Wednesday, July 16, from 6 to 7:30. Click here for tickets!
Tickets are $75, and the class will explore wine and cheese pairings via the concept: what grows together goes together! For example we will taste an Alpine style cheese with an Alpine wine! The focus will be on French wines and French inspired cheeses. (Counter Cheesemongers specializes in small creameries from the United States that take their inspiration from the old world!) There will be three wines and three cheeses and plenty of information regarding the featured wines and cheeses and general pairing advice.
There will be time at the end of class for retail purchases of the featured cheeses and an order sheet to order your favorite wines for pick-up. Plus, the amazing owners of P&F, will have a featured table of France inspired books ready for you to peruse (and purchase).
Seating is limited to P&F bar to allow for an intimate, focused experience; so snag yours today! The shop will be closed for this private event, and advanced purchase of tickets is required.
(If you have not been to P&F yet, prepare to fall in love…it is a cozy neighborhood bookstore/bar on Bogard Street in downtown Charleston. Like Counter Cheesemongers, it is a true labor of love — run almost entirely by its owners, who also have other jobs! I now order all my books from there! And of course, regular readers know I get all my cheese from Counter Cheesemongers!)
P.S. If you are just picking up the Grape to Table newsletter, thanks so much for joining to learn more about wine, food, and life. There’s lots to read – from my origin story (click here to read) to fun content focused on meaningful time at the table with delicious wine and food. For now, my newsletter is free and you can find all the content by clicking here – basically a little Grape to Table website created by the great folks at Substack. I did realize recently that you only see the various categories of past newsletters if you open this link in a browser (rather than the Substack app). It’s a shame because the categories make it easy to find content you might be interested in…so here are some more embedded links! Click here for Wine Tips. Click here for Recipes. Click here for Q & As. As always I really appreciate when you hit the like button as it helps get the content in front of more people :) and spread the joy of wine and food!
