Welcome (DI1)
My name is Charlie Turnbull. I am an international cheese judge, founding director of the Academy of Cheese, and have been talking about, selling and teaching cheese for two decades.
With the eyes of a cheese lover I have taken a new look at wine, cocktails, spirits and all the other accompaniments to the noble curd.
My Casselier events and courses present cheeses as we encounter them IRL – through recipes, cheeseboards, in bars and restaurants, at home with friends and family.
Sharing, talking, learning and tasting – it’s my pathway to enjoying life through the simple things.
Our Guide To Cheese Parties
What is a Charlie Turnbull cheese party? Cheese and wine are complicated. A cheese party brings the party to you. International cheese judge Charlie Turnbull provides 3 or 5 pairings for you to follow at home or wherever you are.
We provide a complete guide to finding your cheese and wine, how to prepare and present them, and video pairing guides for each pairing.
Broadcasting Charlie to your guests gives a unique opportunity to hear direct from an eloquent, enthusiastic cheese expert on the cheese and wine. A Charlie Turnbull cheese party is the most informed, enjoyable and affordable way to hold a cheese and wine party.
