What better way to spend the morning with any one of your favorite moms than at a proper elevenses? Join us at the Cheese Board for our annual Mother’s Day Tea Party. Fancy hats optional but highly recommended.
Join The Cheese Board Collective, Matthew Rorick of Forlorn Hope, and wine critic/cheese author Francis Percival for an afternoon of sipping wine, tasting cheese, and learning about both in the process. We will delve into different understandings of what cheese and wine really are.
Most importantly, Forlorn Hope winemaker Matthew Rorick will be onsite pouring and educating all afternoon. Matthew believes strongly that site and farming produce all that seasoned wine drinkers demand from a bottle of wine. At his estate vineyard in Calaveras County, and from heritage sites in Lodi and Mendocino, he seeks out rare creatures from appellations unknown and varieties uncommon, as he fond of saying. In the cellar, he doesn’t want to muddy the story told by the grapes, adding no additional water, yeast, acid or enzymes to the finished wine. Against a tide turning wine from an art form into a bulk commodity, Matthew sees his wines as our brave advance party, our pride and joy – our Forlorn Hope.
