On Tuesday, February 7th from 7:00-9:00PM the public is invited to attend a cheese and wine tasting held at Great Bay Community College featuring instructional commentary from America’s preeminent expert of cheese, Max McCalman. The fundraiser is part of the College’s Leadership Speaker Series which offers individuals the opportunity to hear state, national and global leaders discuss their success stories, philosophies, as well as current issues and trends that relate to their industries.
In addition to sampling pairings of cheese and wine, attendees will experience a hands-on exploration of the world’s finest artisanal cheeses with commentary from McCalman, a veteran of the food and hospitality industries. Not only is McCalman America’s first restaurant-based Maître Fromager, but he also serves as a consultant to the trade and is a lecturer and teacher at several top culinary schools. He frequently judges cheese competitions both in the U.S. and Europe and has been featured in leading epicurean publications as well as on radio and television. McCalman’s second book, Cheese: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's Best, (Clarkson Potter) an expansive reference on the world's finest cheeses and wine-cheese pairings was published in August 2005 and won "Best Reference Book" at the James Beard Foundation 2006 Awards.
