For our cheese loving friends in Dallas, Texas - this is for you!  Virtual cheese classes are here! Are you ready for some interactive entertainment? Celebrate American Cheese Month! Vermont has a bounty of great cheeses!  Join head monger Rich Rogers and Sommelier Marco Villegas as they guide you through tasting eight Vermont cheeses along with some tasty accompaniments. And the best part is, you can participate in your own home! Thursday May 7, 6 PM CST. How Does it Work? Our mongers put together a plate of delicious cheeses and accompaniments, a printed handout with that night's cheese selection and some fresh sliced baguette from Empire Baking Company. All you'll need to do is unwrap, tune in, get comfy, and enjoy! What’s a class without wine? There is no way Marco would let us host a class without at least offering some wine to go along with it! Wine options will be available at the time of purchase, so you can enjoy perfect beverage pairings for each class.
