Taste Cheese Like never before
Sensory, tasting Cheese and pairing with the right wine is more than putting great cheeses on a platter. With some simple techniques and handy tips you taste cheese as never before and you will enlighten your guest for many future parties. Develop a new exciting pallet of complex aromas and flavours. Knowing the background of a cheese, the terroir, the history and how they get better over time make you feel comfortable to compose your next cheese platter near perfection. Pairing with the right wine simply enhances the experience.
We believe in contrasts; some cheeses taste subtle and fresh while others take over room with their appearance and aromas. We pair this with the old-world classic wines and daring strong beers. For every event we provide simple detailed step-by-step instructions to successfully explore the world of cheese, matching wines, building your next cheese platter.
​
Old World
For 11,000 years Europe is making the most famous Cheeses. Not to mention the best wines in
the world. We pair the classics Cheeses with the old vine wines from French and Italy. We might
mix it up with a clothbound Cheddar and a good English Ale. However we do it, it is a fun and
tasty event with lots of great cheese, wines and a gracious host to make it all happen.
​
New World
There is a new and growing Artisan Cheese revolution happening in the United States. Since the
early eighties a growing number of American Cheesemakers are offering the culinary world new and
surprising flavours. New inventions, new textures at a world-class level. They are hard to get at home
but when you can it is a feast for the senses. We pair this with the better Napa and Sonoma wines.
​
Go Local
Stay close to home and support our local Cheesemakers. In Ontario alone there are over 40 dairies
making fresh and innovative Artisan Cheeses. We cross the border with Quebec for a good Chevre
but we mainly focus on good Ontario Cheese. It is a surprising journey paired with Niagara's best
that makes an interesting discovery of our own backyard.
