A Culinary Travel Guide
Jeanette Hurt

A complete guide to California’s artisan cheesemakers
with special emphasis on pairing farmstead and artisanal cheese with local wines
This is the first book to focus solely on California’s cheeses and their cheesemakers, with heavy emphasis on pairing cheeses with wines.

This complete guide also includes a map with directions to the cheese producers for those who want to visit, recommendations for where to stay and eat, details on where to find California cheese, resources for cheesemakers, recipes, and more.
