Prepare to challenge your taste buds with a carefully curated selection of five artisanal cheeses, each paired with an ideal wine counterpart. From creamy bries to tangy blues, each cheese has been meticulously chosen to showcase a spectrum of flavours, textures, and aromas. Coupled with five exquisite wines expertly selected to complement and elevate the tasting experience, this event promises an unforgettable culinary journey.
We will be tasting five cheeses and five wines, and each pairing will have a short presentation by Charlie Turnbull. He will introduce the wine and the cheese, and guide you through why the pairing should work for you.
Alongside your tasting, you can follow the tasting in the portal, where each paring is supported by a guide to the wine, the cheese and the pairing.
Remember, you palate is unique. What you taste will not be exactly the same as your neighbour, the hosts or even Charlie. This is an event of exploration and there are no wrong answers. Taste, chat, consider, agree, disagree, but definitely have a good time.
Charlie is a cheese expert, founding director the global Academy of Cheese, cheese judge and consultant.
Charlie matches cheese to wines, using wines from all around the world. If this event whets your appetite to find out more about wine, cheese or wine and cheese, click through to the charlieturnbull.com home page or Charlie’s biography.
