Grapes are to wine as apples are to ... CIDER! In fact, while one might be quick to equate cider to beer, instead, the cider making process more closely resembles winemaking.
The first recorded mention of cider is from 55 BCE, when Julius Caesar discovered the Celtic Britons fermenting crabapples into cider during his first attempt to invade Britain. And cheese dates back over 1000 years before that. From fruity to savory, sweet to dry, sparkling to still, the world of ciders is much bigger than many of us previously thought. We'll taste through Old and New World Ciders, including a local favorite from Texas Keeper Cider, all while pairing them with cheeses. Three ciders, each paired with two cheeses (for a total of 6), and other complementary food bites to bring out the flavors in each, while our event hosts walk you through their histories, producers, and tasting notes. We'll also help keep your palate fresh with crackers, nuts, and pickles.
Ready for Cider & Cheese, a match made in heaven?
