Queso Diego November Meeting Announcement

The November meeting of Queso Diego will finish our 2013 Cheeses of the World program with Italian Cheeses.  Brian Trout, our future Vice-President, has been preparing an excellent presentation on Italian cheeses that will include cheese samples and pairings, along with lots of information and recipes.  This is our final regular meeting of the year, as December is our special holiday party, which we will discuss at the meeting.  Attendees are welcome to bring cheeses, drinks, and snacks to share, and Italian cheeses and foods are especially encouraged.
 
The meeting will be held at 6:30pm on Tues, November 19 at City Farmers Nursery (http://www.cityfarmersnursery.com).  Map of parking and the meeting location: http://bit.ly/RtI8rX.

Queso Diego October Meeting Announcement

The October meeting of Queso Diego will take place tomorrow, October 15. We will be doing a harvest and Halloween themed pairing night and we encourage members to bring cheeses, foods, and beverages to create pairings. The club will provide a few harvest-themed cheeses and we expect that members will bring lots of interesting things to try. Feel free to bring pre-planned pairings or things to mix-and match with what other attendees bring. The idea behind this is to provide an opportunity before the holiday season for us to try out different combinations and develop ideas to share with our friends and family during the holidays.

A few ideas to get you started:
cheeses and foods involving fall and pumpkin spices, ciders and pumpkin beers and cheeses to pair with them, wine and cheese pairings, liquor or cocktail pairings, foods made with cheeses, etc.

The meeting will be held at 6:30pm on Tues, October 15 (Tomorrow) at City Farmers Nursery (http://www.cityfarmersnursery.com). Map of parking and the meeting location: http://bit.ly/RtI8rX.
