Cheesewhizzes Sparkles

We had another Cheesewhizzes party this weekend. The venue was Hall Winery’s absolutelygorgeous Rutherford facility. The winery has unbelievably moving art, and a chandelier that looks like tree roots hung with crystals and sparkly lights and that doesn’t really explain how breathtaking the venue.

(Planning a trip to the Napa Valley? Just look at this photo gallery! Make an appointment there for a private tasting. Do it right before you go to Auberge du Soleil to watch the sun set from the balcony. Tell them Cheesewhizzes sent you.)

Since most venues that are that breathtaking are up twisty roads and around hairpin turns, we hired a driver. Fued, from Black Tie Taxi, was personable, and most importantly, patient.

This Cheesewhizzes event had 80% people I didn’t know attending. Now that is some crazy stuff. Our little cheese tasting group has grown from ten to roughly 50 in a few short months. The venues are more and more luxurious, the cheeses, more adventurous.

Sadly, due to an all-encompassing fear of Listeria, I didn’t eat any of the cheese. Come to think of it, I didn’t drink any wine either. So instead I prepared snacks, ran dishes and made sure people knew the way to the bathroom. There will be time for cheese and wine.

Most importantly?
Natalie and I spread Cheese Enthusiasm.

Can you feel it?
