Tasting Seminar: Volcanic Wine & Mountain Cheese

 

Despite steep climbs and threats of eruption, people have been making cheese and wine on treacherous peaks for centuries - and not just because the views are picturesque. This April, cheese and wine educator and 18 Reason's cheesemaking teacher Kirstin Jackson will not only question their sanity, she will happily admire their beautiful creations with curious wine and cheese lovers. We'll talk about the ancient practice of transhumance, the history and culture of the regions, and pair cheese and wine that from come from uneven or volcanic grounds - some now calm, and some still explosive. The cheeses will be vibrant, the wines will be mineral, and the class will be delicious.
