Description
On October 8th, we will have our first Virtual Wine Tour for FIA members. This is a great opportunity for you to connect with others in the FIA community over wine and cheese. For this event, we teamed up with our friends from Cellar Rat Wine Merchants and Kevin Hodge will be doing the wine tour.
The Bread & Cheese Package includes:
– Piave: hard aged Italian cow’s milk cheese named after the Piave River. Piave has a Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) and the only “official” Piave is produced in the Dolomite area of Bellune in the northernmost part of the Veneto region.
– Delice de Cremiers – soft triple cream cow’s milk cheese from France from the heart of the Cote de Nuits in Burgundy.
– Tribeca Oven Stirato – square loaf, to heat and crisp up, place in 350-375 oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
NOTE: If you do a place an order, you can pick up your package from Cellar Rat Wine Merchants as early as Tuesday 10/6. They are located in the Crossroads Art District at 1701 Baltimore Ave., Kansas City, MO 64108 and are open from 10AM to 7PM.
If you’re interested in attending the virtual wine tour, reservations are required by end of day on Monday, 10/5 and we also have two (2) sponsorship opportunities for this event and one (1) video sponsorship available. See below.
Kevin Hodge and his wife Frances O’Shea have been co-owners of Cellar Rat Wine Merchants since July 30, 2013. Kevin has 25+ years in the food and wine industry with time in all aspects of the business. He loves to cook and is great at pairing food and wine. He has travelled the world extensively in search of new and exciting wine to taste and the elusive Sasquatch. He brings a fun, nonsensical approach to a subject that is often viewed as stuffy and unapproachable.
