What's a Feminist Cheese? All About Women (and Cheese)
![]()
...and Women and Wine! ![]() Our feature for today is Big Salt made by winemaker/owner Ksenija Kostic House at her sustainable and organic Oregon winery, Ovum. This white is a blend of predominantly Riesling and Gewurztraminer grapes. It’s fresh, dry, and breezy with notes of sea spray, spices, rich citrus, and stone fruits. Pair it with any of our fresh seasonal Chevres arriving in the house or even a funky washed rind. (91 points on Wine Enthusiast!) Wine & Women Numbers (from WWOW): ![]() Women make up half the workforce but account for only 5% of chief executives at the largest companies In 2015, female somms reported earning an average of $7150 less than some that were male. Our Cheese Around Town ![]() Starting this weekend, you can also visit either Easy Tiger location for a female-focused cheese board, including Jessica Little of Sweet Grass Dairy. While we’re at it, congrats to the Easy tiger team for landing a nod in the March 2020 issue of Southern Living Magazine! We love partnering with them for their cheese plate selections, and also getting to sell their awesome breads in our Shop! Nothing beats a baguette, a plate of fantastic cheeses, and a beer in their beer garden downtown on 6th St, or on the patio at their LINC location! Female-Focused Events ![]() Bubbles, Brunch, and (Goat) Babies at Bee Tree Farm - come out for a beautiful day to meet the maker Jenna, cuddle her hardworking and lovable goats, and eat her cheese (paired with Corkless Wines). Three opportunities: April 11, May 2, or June 6 Women Behind the Wheels - a special tasting of 7 different cheeses made by iconic women in our industry (and pairings will be female-focused too!). Event on Tues 5/12 from 6:30-8:30 pm Mother’s Day Brunch - back by popular demand! Skip the long lines, busy service, and typical options. Mom will feel super special at a table with up to 6 of her loved ones. Note: we only have 4 tables; so this is an easy way to feel exclusive and control the cost. Each table is $250 and includes cheese, charcuterie, a bread assortment, multiple pairings, and one complimentary bottle of bubbles. You can have 1-7 guests in total. Two seatings available on Mother’s Day Sun, May 10: 10 am or 12:30 pm Cheese-y Bus Tour - On Sat, May 9, we’ll be celebrating our last #CheeseyBusTour of the season, and I’m working on convincing my own mother to visit from North Texas. Consider this a perfect gift on Mother’s Day weekend to spend a day with mom on a bus eating cheese, drinking bubbles, visiting a farm and playing with goats, having a cheese and wine pairing, visiting a brewery for a cheese pairing, and concluding it all with red wine and chocolate pairing. It’s from 10-4. Events ![]() Fri 3/13 (6:30pm) - Raclette Interactive Experience (1 table left!) Sun 3/15 (6:30pm) - Raclette Interactive Experience (1 left!)
