The Cheesemonger's Tales are my personal recollections of visits to cheese makers and wine makers, providing an insight into the people who are responsible for their individuality of styles and flavours.They are personal stories about real people, set alongside my guides to: matching cheese and wine; buying, keeping and serving cheese; seasonal cheeseboards; how to make cheese, and essential information about each wine region.A well-matched combination of cheese and wine adds to the enjoyment of both.Over the years, I have conducted many tutored tastings of cheese and wine. In this book I have attempted to capture the essence of what proved enormously popular on so many evenings.
