Rave Reviews....
"I was never one to even think about cheese, yet after last night's tasting and great information I am now giving up the store bought cheese! What a difference." - Joanne
"What an extremely enjoyable night. Vanessa engaged everyone around the table. The way the cheese was presented one at a time with your talk about it and your knowledge was good for all. I will definitely be back with more friends!' - Lynda
