She will be pleased to answer all your questions during this workshop.

Cheese list:
1) Soft goat cheese
2) Délice de Bourgogne
3) Comté or Cave Aged Gruyère
4) Mini Basque
5) Roquefort

Where to find cheese in the area:

Trader Joe’s (All the cheeses listed above are available at Trader Joe’s)
Curds & co (Brookline)
Formaggio's (Cambridge and South End)

Pairing:
If you want to pair the cheese with some wine, Jennifer recommends a dry bubbly wine, we suggest Gruet brut or Roederer Estate brut that you can purchase on sale with our partner Gordon's Wines

You can also purchase some fresh fruits like pears, apples or figs and some dry fruits like apricots and prunes. You may want to have some bread and crackers as well!
