🧀🍷An evening of perfect pairings!

Thanks to the incredibly knowledgeable @patrickmcguigan1 for a super informative evening of cheese tasting and to Rob from @chanctonburywines for being a font (or even a fondue?) of facts about the drinks he had carefully selected to match.
It was fascinating to hear about Patrick's experiences as a judge at the World Cheese Awards where the panel of judges must choose the One Cheese to Rule Them All from around 5000 entries!

We sampled La Tur, St Jude, Mimolette, Cachel Blue and Garrotxa cheeses alongside zingy white wines, a fruity Beaujolais, a fresh farmhouse ale and a Spanish sherry. La Tur and Cachel Blue were neck and neck for the win.

A surprise bonus was provided by local cheesemaker Matt Gue (@adur.valley creamery) who was in the audience and who shared his incredible new soft cheese Cuthman with us all! Get it from Steyning Butchers or Chanctonbury Wines!

Thanks to all who came, to Patrick's publishers @murdochbooks_uk and to Patrick and Rob for sharing their expertise!
Signed copies of Pat's book One Cheese to Rule Them All will make the perfect gift for the Turophile in your life!
