We are super-stoked to be teaming up with the good folk at Chanctonbury Wines for an evening with cheese expert & food writer PATRICK MCGUIGAN. Patrick will be sharing highlights from his epic hunt to identify the World’s Best Cheeses, celebrating the launch of his new book ‘One Cheese to Rule Them All’, and giving us a guided tasting of a few of the (more accessible!) cheeses he encountered. This boutique evening will take place at Chanctonbury Wines in Steyning, and will include a fascinating talk, cheese and wine tasting, and a copy of this splendid new book!
ABOUT THE BOOK
100 cheeses from around the world. Decades of prize-winners. Two World Cheese Awards judges to guide you. Which is the ONE CHEESE TO RULE THEM ALL? You decide…. Are you a Comté connoisseur or does your heart belong to Rogue River Blue? Can you tell your Brie from your Camembert? Can you name an award-winning Indian cheese and would you recognise a cheese iron? Expect fascinating stories and stats, and an odyssey through the delicious world of cheese to discover the ONE cheese to rule them all. A wonderful gift for the turophiles (cheese lovers!) in your life!
