Janet Fletcher’s World Cheese Tour: U.S. East Coast | Napa | Apr 5 | $45

Description

San Francisco Chronicle cheese columnist Janet Fletcher is in the midst of a series of cheese classes in California’s Wine Country. Billed as a “World Cheese Tour,” the two-hour classes showcase artisan cheese from a different country or region each time. During April she will be going domestic and featuring 2 classes: One on East-Coast Cheeses and one on West-Coast.

The April 5th Class will showcase the best artisan cheeses made East of the Rockies. Vermont is the star, but you can expect some memorable tastes from Wisconsin, New York and Virginia, too.

Guests will be welcomed with an hors d’oeuvre and aperitif before sitting down for the guided tasting: seven cheeses in a range of styles with two appropriate wines.

For both wine-loving locals and Wine Country visitors, the classes offer the chance to taste with an expert. Fletcher is well known for her two bestselling books on cheese (Cheese & Wine: A Guide to Selecting, Pairing, and Enjoying and The Cheese Course, both from Chronicle Books), as well as for her weekly column in the San Francisco Chronicle. She is also the author of Cheese Plate, an iPhone app.

Tickets are $45 per class. For reservations, visit www.janetfletcher.com.
