I don't think that the fact that I LOVE cheese is a secret to anyone who reads this blog. The thought of a cheese-less existence sends shivers down my back. It would be a bleak, cold, tasteless world were there no cheese in it.
Next Monday night Portland's cheese haven, Cheese Bar, is hosting a rare, wonderful cheese event. From 6-9pm at Steve Jones' Cheese Bar you can try 101 of Steve's favorite cheeses. I did not mistype. That is 101. No, not 10.
Steve has partnered up with Adam Berger of Ten 01 to host this awesome event. Along with 101 of Steve's favorite cheeses you can saddle up with wine selections from Ten 01's sommelier Jeff Groh, cocktails by Kelley Swenson, and local beers on tap. Tickets are $39 in advance or $49 at the door and include all the cheese you can taste, two drink tickets for draft beer or wine by the glass, and a $5 voucher for Cheese Bar. There be six wines at $5/glass and local draft beer at $3/glass.
Get your ticket while you still can because they're going fast at www.brownpapertickets.com. If you want a more exclusive experience, 50 VIP tickets at $59 a pop are available. That gets you a 5-6pm more intimate tasting with sparkling wine and champagne.
