Cheese seminar at the Nantucket Food and Wine Festival
The 13th Nantucket Wine Festival is coming up soon. The Nantucket Wine Festival starts off on Wednesday, May 13th 2009 and runs through Sunday, May 17th 2009. This is a great event for foodies, food lovers, and those who enjoy wine, know wine, or want to learn more about food and wine. Not to mention that the setting couldn’t be more perfect. Nantucket has so many hidden gems including restaurants, farms, wineries, and other island-made foods.
The Nantucket Wine Festival has a complete schedule of cooking demonstrations, wine and food seminars, luncheon symposia, a celebryity chef and wine maker auction dinner, restaurant and winery luncheons and dinners, and charity gala events.
On the theme of pairings there is a special food and wine tasting event: Fromage with the King. On Thursday, May 14th from 11:00 – 12:00 Ihsan Gurdal, who travels the world seeking out artisan producers of the world’s finest cheeses from his home base at Formaggio Kitchen in Cambridge, will take you through a sensory exploration of cheese. He will pair cheeses with some favored condiments and explain the relationship between cheese and wine. Not only will the tastings be spectacular but Ihsan’s dynamic energy combines both passion and intellect. You will find yourself satiated at very least by the end of this session.
