Taste of Piedmont
Tuesday, October 28, 6:30pm
Laguna Beach location
Take a trip to northern Italy without paying for airfare! Starr will take your taste buds on vacation for an evening to the region of Piedmont. The Italians are known throughout the world for their well rounded, consistently great cheeses, and the wine is exciting too, and always an adventure.

The Best in the West
Tuesday, November 11, 6:30pm
Laguna Beach location
The west coast is known for reinventing the classics from wine to cheese. In this class, Starr will chose her favorite, lesser known cheeses from Idaho, Oregon, California and Washington, and you will taste them with some of the west’s finest wines. You’ll learn the importance of soil and why regional pairings work so well together.

The French Know
Tuesday, November 18, 6:30pm
Laguna Beach location
As the winter draws closer we start thinking about the cooler climates, and that makes us think of the cheeses of Savoie and Alsace – washed rind, soft ripened cheeses, aged semi-firm cheeses, and big beautiful wines, both red and white, that can transport you to another place and time. Come spend an evening with Starr tasting and learning about what hides in these unique corners of France. You’ll discover some of the best regional pairings yet!

Holiday Celebration
Tuesday, December 2, 6:30pm
Laguna Beach location
In our final class, join us for a perfect celebration of triple crèmes, Champagne, stickies and decadent blue cheese. Come taste the strong and the beautiful! Starr will show you how to have your own cheese celebration at home!
