1/29/09 Dinner Party
Tonight was the first of many Cheese and Beer pairings that The Grilled Cheese Club will host. We were very proud of 3 of the 5 selections we made. Cheese has a unique way of changing from season to season, month to month, week to week and it is these differences which make pairing such a challenge. What works great one day, may not work great the next. The stars mark those pairings which we thought were wonderful.
