Fall is upon us so let's gather together for another seasonal cheese pairing. Fall means our wonderful ruminants (cow, sheep & goat) are eating the last grass of the year & bulking up their milk with more fat and protein in anticipation of the winter months ahead.
The night will co-star our New England friend the apple because what is more Fall then hard cider and apple butter, but I'm there will also be some wine and beer to round everything out. We will also run over some basics for pairing cheese, making cheese plates and any other information you'd like to know about fromage.
