Cheese Dinner

So we had this dinner.  We originally set it for max of 32 people and for the first two weeks we offered tickets, we only sold like 14 or something.  Then in the last week, we actually had to turn people away!  That was crazy.  Actually Craig took down their info as a waiting list.  We decided that we would just take them all and we did.  We ended up with 45 people and it was great. The people that came were a mix of regulars that are fun and interesting people and new people that were intelligent and enjoyable as well. It was  like a big party with a great group of people.  The cheese from Carr Valley was great and the wine was even better.  One of our wine reps came-Damian Castin (spelling?) and two of the wines were his.  He was gracious enough to chat about those wines.  If you are ever looking for a wine, Damian is your man!

The dinner was also fabulous, but I am only a little biased...We had the grilled veggie pizza which is so yummy with applewood smoked cheddar that just melts in your mouth.  and the ricotta cheesecake was delicious as always.

We are having another dinner in September-on the 24th-but this time we invited my second cousin Rufus to come down and bring some produce and then we are cooking it up and he is going to chat with people as is Gary Cuneen from Seven Generations Ahead. I am excited, as the food will be great, the wine perfectly paired and the company, if it is anything like the first dinner we had, will be warm, fun and inviting!
