Today is part 1 with Jess Summer, founder of Mouse and Grape, a luxury cheese and wine hamper company in the UK, and we will be going through her summer hamper which includes canned wines from the Canned Wine Co. We will be looking at the pairings and what process she goes through when deciding what wines she should pair with cheeses, how to taste cheese and wine correctly, and the specific order. You'll learn about storing cheese, the art of cutting cheese up properly. Throughout there will be plenty of perfect pairings mentioned. And Jess will inspire with her story. She is a perfect example of starting from scratch. If you're following your passions, you will achieve success.
