Reviews from our guests....
"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 last light. The venue at Thyme and Again was very comfortable and professional. 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
