Therefore I am going to settle in tonight with a big slab of Hirtenkase cheese and a thick ale and dream about Heidleberg.

]]> Comment on Vintage Cheese Signs in a Paris Flea Market by Thomas Perkins http://www.fromageblog.com/vintage-cheese-signs-in-a-paris-flea-market/#comment-74 Thomas Perkins Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:00:36 +0000 http://www.fromageblog.com/?p=3#comment-74 Hi, I just found this blog entry and found it interesting. There are a lot of things that people in France collect that Americans ignore, but a collection of cheese labels is inexpensive and fun. Did you know that they collect those little "cages" that you take off the top of Champagne bottles before you pop the cork? Check out my website if you get a moment. We take a group of people to Europe antiquing and the Paris flea market is part of the fun. Here,s my url: http://www.EuropeAntiqueTrip.com Hi, I just found this blog entry and found it interesting.

It's kind of ironic considering we share space with a wine bar/retail shop. Beer is definitely the new wine. Last weekend we had a special class (not part of our April/October series) that featured San Diego beers and US cheeses. We were oversold and ended up turning folks away at the door - probably could've added a second class and filled it too. As a promo when we announced the class, if you signed up the first week, we entered you in a drawing to be a part of our tasting panel to establish the pairing menu for the class. We ended up with 7 beers and 7 cheeses - and it only took 39 bottles + 4 taps and about 22 different cheeses to get there. let me know if you want the list of pairings. mary@tastecheese.com Hi - thanks for posting about our beer & cheese classes - they’re by far the most popular classes we offer.
