Cheese Louise

The Cheese Impresario

When spinning the cheese wheel of fortune, you’ve been coming up bankrupt lately.

Guessing sheep when it really was chevre. Wanting stinky but unable to get past Stilton.

So before you reach for a dismal shiraz/cheddar pairing, grab some friends for an Artisanal Cheese Tasting Adventure with Barrie Lynn, a.k.a. The Cheese Impresario.

Ready to tackle any request from beginner (What’s cheese?) to expert (like, say, Pacific Northwest organics for Fall) to over-the-top (try rare French cheeses with récoltant manipulant champagnes), she’ll design a menu of specialty cheeses handmade in small farms across the world, as well as wines, breads, and accompaniments like honeys, fruits, jellies, and olives.

You’ll learn why wax paper is a cheese’s best friend; how to navigate the cheese section of your local grocery store; and other tips that’ll make buying, serving, and eating cheesy snacks a breeze.

By the time you’re finished, you’ll be ready to solve the puzzle.
