To Cheesetique owner Jill Erber, education is key. Each chunk or wheel within the cheese counter comes with a little sign outlining the animal origin, geographical location and sometimes the history of the dairy product. Take the Pont L' Eveque, one of the world's ancient cheeses, dating to the 13th century. It's made from cow's milk in Normandy, France. And apparently, it's great with a pinot noir. So grab a bottle of wine from the shelf, a box of crackers, some fig jam and ask Cheesetique's helpful staff for the best cheese pairing. You won't be disappointed.

A class entails an hour or so of instruction, at least 10 cheeses to taste, and usually a glass or two of wine/beer for pairing. The cost is $30 per person.
