Cheese Tasting with expert, Kurt Gurdal

On June 19th cheese expert Kurt Gurdal from Formaggio's Kitchen in Cambridge presented a series of interesting and unusual cheeses paired with delectable confitures or such, and appropriate wines, both white and red. He explained in detail how and where each cheese was made. For the 20 participants, some old hands at EV and some coming for the first time to find out what Earthen Vessels is all about—that was the reason for the event, after all—it was a delicious encounter with cheese, to be sure, but also with two of the young people currently in the program as well as a camper from way back in the early 80's, Carla, who will be joining our Board of Directors. Dan Thompson hosted the event on his terrace in Belmont, and, as the saying goes, a good time was had by all. If any of you out there would like to host such an event for your friends, let us know. We are always interested in getting the word out!
