Our Francophile friend Robert Maury will be here to sample the new wines from this venerable winemaking area. We'll taste all kinds of things — both vertically and horizontally (no, this does not mean you get to lie down...)

Andy Hatch from Uplands Cheese will be in town for the universe premiere (not just the world!) of the 2018 Rush Creek. It's the porn of cheese, but you can appreciate it in public. We'll do some comparison tasting with Pleasant Ridge "vintages" and naturally, you'll get wine pairings.

Learn all about the seven styles of cheese — fresh, bloomy, washed-rind, semi-soft, semi-firm, hard, and blue — and demystify the cheese counter. Two glasses of wine are also included in the class.

Learn all about the six basic styles of wine — red, white, rose sparkling, dessert, and aromatized. Two-time Iron Somm Kelsey Seay will be here to demystify wine. If you're just at the beginning of your wine journey and you want the basics, this is the class for you.  Noshes included. Head to TCS at 6 p.m. for some elbow exercises, and class will start at 6:30 p.m.You'll want reservations because that's how this whole process works. Call 515.528.8181 to get some.
