Events for December 2016

There's nothing like a cheese parade! Join us for an afternoon of celebration and great Italian cheese as we welcome this year's 400-pound wheel of Crucolo.  Click here to see a video of last year's parade!

Join us (2pm to close) in welcoming Vin Distributors for their first tasting here at The Cheese Shop! Vin Distributors specialize in wines from Moldova, an ancient and often overlooked winemaking region. Come on down and taste!

Wines from around the world presented by one of our top-notch importer/distributors, Winebow!

We're welcoming back Premium European Wines for the second time in three weeks! Owners Paul and Oxana Knutrud "...only import wines from wineries where we know the owners and winemakers personally. Each of our represented vineyards are family owned and our wines are either estate bottled or the wine was made from grapes controlled by the winery..."

Trio Wine Company is another of our select group of small, independent, local distributors. They'll be showing a selection of domestic west-coast red and white wines from Washington and California!

Organic wines from Europe and the US, presented by one of our superb small, independent distributors, MISE Imports.

Another small, enthusiastic Mass. importer/distributor whose fabulous world-wide wines we’ve carried for years, Oz Wine Company!

Here, we welcome Cynthia Hurley French Wines in for one of our extremely rare Sunday tastings. We've been proud to have their wines in our shop for many years, now, because they espouse the philosophy that we aspire to. In their own words: "...Our selections represent the efforts of independent growers and producers who use minimal to no intervention to create wines that are terroir driven. We import just those wines we want to put in our own cellar. We believe one of life’s greatest pleasures is heading down to your cellar and picking a different bottle each evening..."

In our only Monday Wine Tasting ever (or at least as far as we can recall), we welcome Masciarelli Wine Company who are a self-described "...family owned and operated Importing and Distribution Company dedicated to quality, small production wines from around the world...."

Last tasting of 2016! This time, we've got Carmen, from Cafe Europa, showing delicious wines from New Zealand, Spain and the US...and Champagne, of course! Happy New Year, everyone!
