Spots are still open in the goat cheese class I’m teaching at Solano Cellars this Wednesday. Check out the write-up below, and spread the chevre love like a wildfire! I’d love to see some readers there!

The Cheese Lover’s Trinity: A Tri-Milk Summit

Join Kirstin, instructor at the San Francisco Cheese School and author of “It’s Not You, It’s Brie” blog for a series of classes devoted to the holy cheeselover’s trinity (and wine pours!). Stimulating the cheese lover’s palate through tasting, the class will explore the unique characteristics and temperaments of each cow, goat, and sheep’s milk to consider what makes up some of the best cheeses around so damn good.

Goat’s Milk: You Don’t Know Chevre!

You love goat cheese; you just don’t know it yet. Get ready to warm your goat-loving heart and to be surprised by the miraculous and varied nature of chevre. By the way, goats wag their tails when they’re happy.

Sassy, Spicy, Seductive, Sheep’s Milk

There is a fabulous world of sheep’s milk cheeses out there beyond Manchego just waiting for recognition. Hold our hands, and we’ll explore it with you, spicy slice-by-slice and surprisingly creamy bite by bite.

Wish I lived in the Bay Area! I already love goat cheese and would love to learn more about it from you. I’m determined to have my own herd one day, preferably a herd of fainting goats!

Jessica-
I saw fainting goats while visiting Old Faithful Geyser in Calistoga. They were positively the most exciting thing there!

Wish that I could.. Any chance you would do the class in the US Virgin Islands (moving there for 6 months, but I read there is a cheese emaker on the island that is well known… will do a post on that)
