This year, CheeseB has planned a Media Launch to kick off the festival in grand style. A celebrity chef's who's who hosting this year's lineup as well as alumni chefs from past year's for a cocktail celebration... The kick-off party goes down on April 21st, 6-8 pm at Cheese Boutique!
Evidently the store is going to be open that Monday night--should be an entertaining shopping experience if you can make it out :-)
