The Cheese Course

In this educational tasting and pairing course, author and instructor Kirstin Jackson will guide us through the essentials of composing the perfect cheese course. We will explore 8-10 cheese selections and wine pairings; Kirstin will focus her efforts on the world’s best-known cheese-producing regions, including those in the US. We will also learn her recipes for two classic, cheese board accoutrements.

Author of It’s Not You, it’s Brie: Unwrapping America’s Unique Culture of Cheese, Kirstin Jackson is a cheesemaking teacher, wine and cheese educator, and writer. She loves teaching people how to make ricotta and creamy burrata pillows as much as she adores pairing her new favorite local cheese with wine. She blames her parents who took her on trips to the California dairy country at a very young age for feeding her current obsession.
