Celebrity presenters and performers will each receive an elaborate letter-press certificate for an unusual wine and cheese tasting---to be conducted in their homes by Barrie Lynn, The Cheese Impresario. Barrie Lynn is one of southern California’s most respected experts on cheeses; she writes a monthly column in The Beverly Hills Times called “Cheese Matters” and is often quoted in Variety as well as the popular food blog, EatingLA, and Ben Adair’s Pacific Drift on KPCC 83.9 FM in Los Angeles. Each tasting will consist only of small-production artisanal wines and cheeses---one of the wines will be Cabernet Sauvignon from Smith-Madrone Winery, based in St. Helena, in the Spring Mountain District in the Napa Valley. The American artisanal cheese producers participating are Chef John Folse’s Bittersweet Plantation Dairy, Mozzarella Company, Vermont Butter & Cheese Company, Fiscalini Farmstead Cheese and Carr Valley Cheese Company. Founded in 1971 by Stuart Smith, Smith-Madrone makes Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling from its own estate vineyards which surround the winery on steep mountainsides in the Spring Mountain District in St. Helena, in the Napa Valley. The wines are available at www.smithmadrone.com or upon request at fine wines and retailers. |
