Buongiorno,
Given the great success of our NorCal artisan wine and cheese pairing event, I'm delighted to announce an all new CH&N Pairings event: the trifecta of fermented foods -- artisan cheeses, beers and breads.
When and where
Saturday, June 12 from 2 to 5 pm, in San Francisco
The plan
60 of us will gather, each bringing a sample of our favorite Northern California beers, cheeses or breads.
As for all our pairing events, priority for the sign-up will be given to people bringing homemade beer, cheese or bread. I'll be baking two or three of my long-fermentation breads.
Here's a list of Northern California breweries from the NorCal Brewer's Guild.
Here's a list of artisan cheesemakers from the California Artisan Cheese Guild.
Some of us will make an accompanying dessert to enjoy along with our tasting.
I strongly recommend signing up with a friend and bringing a pairing of a beer with a cheese.
This is a community event, open to all. We need to rent the space from the city, so there is a $6 donation per person. The PayPal link will be emailed to the participants tomorrow. Check your calendar before signing up, since donations are non-refundable.
To attend, post a comment on this blog. (Don't email me directly.)
Every person coming (including any guest you bring) will need to sign up for a slot, and contribute beers, cheeses or homemade dessert.
Since participation is limited, please let us know at least 4 days before the event if you're not going to be able to make it, so we can invite someone else to join us. If you cancel 4 days before the event, you can't join us for the following 2 events. If you don't show at all, you can't join us for the next 3. Canceling on short notice (or none at all) is unfair to everyone, especially people who wanted to participate and couldn't because all the slots were taken.
We'll divide the slots among the participants this way:
24 slots for people bringing their favorite Northern California beers. ( At least 2 6-packs.)
24 slots for people bringing their favorite Northern California artisan cheeses -- either one pound of cheese or two 8 oz pieces of two cheeses, so that everyone can sample it
5 slots for people bringing us artisan or homemade breads ALL SLOTS TAKEN
5 slots for people making a dessert (homemade please) ALL SLOTS TAKEN
2 slots for people bringing compostable plates, knives and napkins
Please let me know who is coming by name. Once we reach 60 people confirmed and paid, I'll close the event and start another post for the waiting list. If the slots are full for what you'd like to bring, please choose something else instead.
So post a comment on the blog (do not email me directly) under the call-for-participation post letting me know the following:
First and last name
Email address
What you'll be bringing (bread, cheese, wine, etc.)

This is going to be great (and quick to fill up)! So sign up before the spaces are gone.
