Cheesetique will open its doors on Monday, June 25 to WCR members for a tasting & seminar on specialty cheeses. Owner and new WCR member, Jill Erber, better known as the Cheese Lady, states that Cheesetique’s mission is “to encourage and expand the appreciation of specialty cheeses through education, experimentation, and excellent service…”

Join Jill for a description of cheese-making techniques and a guided tasting of some artisanal cheeses.

Located in the DelRay section of Alexandria, Cheesetique has been serving the cheese-loving community at large for 3 years and has received numerous awards including being named “Best Cheese Shop in Washington, DC” by WUSA 9 and “Alexandria’s Retail Business of the Year” (both in 2006).

Of particular interest to WCR members will be the Chefs’ Program Jill offers. This program is designed for area restaurants, caterers & personal chefs to provide them with specialty cheeses to enhance their businesses. Professional discounts and delivery are available.

Seating at this event is very limited and will be on a ‘first come, first served basis.’ So don’t hesitate, register today!
