Cheese Busy & Links du Fromage

Been busy, but still thinking of you!

Here's a little update on the cheese haps, and then, Links du Fromage:

In the past two weeks. I've visited Bellwether and Fiscalini cheesemakers, both of which are generally closed to tours, so I'll post some inside info and photos soon. I learned a tremendous amount from visiting both farms, and I think you'll like hearing the low-down too.

I'm teaching a rosé and cheese pairing class at the San Francisco Cheese School this Wednesday and have a Wine and Cheese Pairing basics course there coming up in August. Next week, I'll head to my favorite beer bar for an excursion in cheese and beer pairing and will write about my findings. I've also been working, typing, editing, re-editing, pitching, interviewing and querying for possible cheese articles (which is quite the humbling experience). I've learned a lot these past couple of weeks and am looking forward to sharing it with you in the future. I just need an hour or two to sit down to do so!

In the meantime, I've been reading some great articles and blog posts lately. I hope you enjoy them too.

Lastly, "It's Not You, it's Brie" got mentioned in the latest Culture magazine. Thank you!
