Join us at our May Meeting on Tuesday, May 21 at 6:30pm at AleSmith (9990 AleSmith Ct, San Diego, Ca 92126)! We will be meeting in the BARREL ROOM (please bring a lawn chair).
At this meeting, we have several features:
- EPIC Cheese Competition! (We will have an Epic Cheese Competition as part of our September Meeting. Peter Zien and a panel will be judging, and the cheese deemed Best of Show will have the opportunity to make their cheese professionally with Peter at CheeseSmith! We will cover details of this competition and answer questions you may have)
- The History of Cheese (This main presentation by Marci will cover the evolution of cheese from its origins, which evolved more out of necessity, to modern-day cheeses we enjoy today, as more of a luxury. Along the way, we will also do some taste testing ranging from fresh cheese to dessert cheese)
- Cypress Grove Cheese Ambassador (Hear from Club Member Lisa, who is a Cypress Grove Cheese Ambassador! And we will have a 3 pound Humboldt Fog cheese wheel to sample! And there may be swag given out…)
