This year’s 12th Annual Anniversary party will not include the usual pot luck. Instead appetizers and bubbly will be provided to enjoy prior to the Cheese and Bubbly pairings. There will be a wide range of tasty offerings being prepared by the board members ranging from Koobideh Wraps to California rolls. Desserts will be provided at the conclusion of the pairings.

Once again, we have some great pairing combinations this year ranging from a Japanese sake pairing to a Sweetheart cocktail pairing. It should be a great experience and a ton of fun, so get your tickets while you can.

Queso Diego Anniversary Party – No Regular February Meeting

In lieu of our regular monthly meeting, we will be holding our annual “Bubbly and Cheese” pairing to celebrate Queso Diego’s 11th anniversary as a club.

No Regular February Meeting – Anniversary Event

Bubbly and Cheese

In place of the regular February meeting, we are holding our annual “Bubbly and Cheese” anniversary pairing event to celebrate 9 years as a club. This special members-only multi-course pairing event is sold out, so if you missed your chance to buy tickets, make sure to purchase your tickets early next year. This event is held at a different location that is better suited for a sit-down pairing, so we will not be at AleSmith.
