THE BIG CHEESE(S) & FINE WINE

Wednesday, May 6, 2026
6:30 PM-8:30 PM
$50 for a tasting menu of 6 cheeses and 6 wines

The world of artisanal cheeses is much like the world of artisanal wine: it rests upon centuries of tradition, indelibly marked by a sense of somewhereness infused with the maker’s hand. If you wanna learn about some exquisite cheeses, and dive into their traditional wine pairings, you don’t want to miss this one.

Dave will be telling you about the wines, but Sam Rollins, the cheesemonger at Cow Bell who was declared the second best cheesemonger in the world a few years ago, will be our primary guide for this class. Sam always brings the heat. And the forearm vasculature.

This Friday, we are excited to host Juliette Puyperoux, one half of the new Burgundian grower, Domaine du Puy de L’Ours . Juliette and her husband Jean Orsoni met and fell in love while studying winemaking. They later inherited family vineyards in Beaune and decided to return to Juliette’s grandparents’ home—where she spent much of her childhood—to create an entirely new label. Their estate name comes from a combination of their two last names.

We visited Juliette and Jean this past fall in their village of Savigny-lès-Beaune, and spent a morning learning about their history, vineyards, winemaking, and overall philosophy: their wines reflect traditional focus on vineyard sites, but the couple also embraces the sort of new wave playfulness, respectful irreverance, and focus on elegance and finesse—rather than tannic, oaky power—that lights us up when it comes to Burgundy.

Juliette will be joined by the brilliant , her legendary exporter from .co, and this is a rare opportunity to taste through a lineup of eight exceptional Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs with the winemaker herself.

$20 in advance and $30 at the door. Get stoked, link in bio.

This Friday, we're hosting Juliette Puyperoux, one half of the new (sort of) Burgundian grower . Several years ago, Juliette and her husband Jean took over a family domaine, but with a curious twist than is typical: they created an entirely new label, and kept the family vineyards.

Year 2 of our Valentine meme tradition is here 💘

Fair warning: these get raunchier/weirder as you swipe.

We slipped our February calendar in there for a little intermission. Classes, tastings, protests pours and speed dating — more than a few reasons to leave the house this month! We’ll see you soon.

Open today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Strike, and support those who are also striking.
