Featuring Special Guest & Cheese Legend Steve Jones!
On the eve of the release of his new book with Co-Author Adam Lindsley; Cheese Beer Wine Cider: A Field Guide to 75 Perfect Pairings – Steve & Adam will join us for dinner Friday evening and for masters classes during the festival!
Cheese and wine are a classic combination, but many cheeses taste even better with beer or cider. Steve Jones, proprietor of the Portland- based Cheese Bar and Chizu (cheese served sushi- style), has been successfully matching cheeses with alcoholic beverages for more than two decades. In his upcoming book with Co-Author Adam Lindsley he shares his knowledge by introducing 75 different cheeses and pairing each with the beverage that brings out the best in both, providing a treasure trove of delectable, often surprising pairings, as well as simple steps for successful experimentation. Don’t miss out on an evening of mouth watering pairings Steve & Adam have prepared for your palate featuring the best from our region. Tickets for this event have historically sold out early, so don’t wait – get yours today!
Steve Jones’s Portland-based shops, Cheese Bar and Chizu, have been heralded among “The Best Cheese Shops in America” (Travel + Leisure) and have been featured by Portland Monthly, The Oregonian, Eater Portland, LA Times, Fodor’s, and Food Network.
