HeinzelCheeseTalk no 16: Austria! Friday, August 14, 2015

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

I had been climbing up Austrian Alpine hills and busied myself tasting through one wine cellar after another – all for you, my HeinzelCheeseTalk faithfuls!

All of this we explored together upon my return to Berlin, loaded with good stuff. » Weiterlesen…

HeinzelCheeseTalk Special: Greek Feta and Greek wines. Saturday July 18th, 5pm

Veröffentlicht amAutorUrsula HeinzelmannKommentar hinterlassen

Feta is one of those things many of us just take for granted. For so granted that we don’t even think about it.
