Cheese Evaluation

We invite you to join us Monday, September 20th, at 6 pm for an evening of wine and cheese. During our event, please expect a basic introduction to cheese making, categorization, and cheese evaluation. We will then discuss the pairings of various Long Shot wines to the evaluated cheeses and additional foods. (Event is expected to last approximately 1.5 hours.)

Ann Starbard will be your guide through our cheese pairing event. Ann formerly owned and operated a farmstead goat cheese business in Massachusetts for twenty years. During this time she studied cheese sensory evaluation and analysis at the Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheese. Ann also participated in sensory evaluation training at the international level while attending a Goat Association conference in the Canary Islands. She has led workshops in cheese making and tasting and dairy goat management in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Tennessee and the Caribbean island of Grenada. Ann is the author of “The Dairy Goat Handbook”, a complete guide to dairy goat care.
