Queso Diego was recently featured in the Winter 2012 issue of Culture Magazine in an article by our Vice President, Ringo Firefly. In the article, Ringo discusses what it takes to start and run a cheese club. The article includes photos by our Treasurer, Larry Stein.

Important Note: Because we need an accurate head count to purchase supplies and we need to give our vendors adequate time to fulfill our requests, we have closed RSVPs for this meeting after several notifications on the email list. We kindly ask that you not attend if you did not already RSVP, as we are in the process of purchasing supplies for the meeting based on the current RSVP list.

January marks Queso Diego’s second anniversary as a club. To celebrate this occasion and the new year, we will again be holding a cheese and champagne pairing celebration. We will explore pairings with a variety of sparking wines. The club will provide cheeses for the pairing and we are asking that attendees contribute a suggested donation of $5 minimum per person to help offset the cost of the sparkling wines that we will be purchasing.
The meeting will be held at 6:30pm on Tues, January 15 at Curds and Wine (http://www.curdsandwine.com). The meeting will be held in their meeting suite (7188 Clairemont Mesa Blvd), which is the same building, but in the suite farthest from the main road. Signs will be posted to help guide you. The store will not be open before the meeting, but it will be open briefly following the meeting if you need to purchase any supplies.
We will need some of the members to bring folding chairs. These should preferably be regular folding chairs rather than the fabric camp chairs, so as to take up less space.
There will not be a meal or food truck provided, but members are welcome to bring snacks, drinks, and food to share as well as cheese.
