Nearly 70 members and guests explored the possibilities in cheese and wine pairing.  Whether, as the fourth course of a gourmet dinner or as a part of a casual meal, cheese has always been a slice of the good life.  Ron Shalinsky, owner of The Better Cheddar in Kansas City, presented an outstanding array of cheeses from around the world.  The cheeses were paired with five different wines: Sancerre, Riesling, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauternes.  We learned classic matches and discovered our own favorites.  Also included was a sparkling wine reception and a buffet of fruit, baguettes and bruschetta.  What a great tasting.
