Waldemar and Nadia do Burgundy

On Tuesday August 8th from 6:30pm-8:00pm celebrate the summer and the fabulous wines of Burgundy in an evening of cheese and wine pairing. Cheese evangelists Waldemar and Nadia have selected six delectable artisan cheeses and have paired them with five marvelous wines selected by the Burgundy Wine Company. The event will feature an instructional talk by Waldemar and Nadia, followed by an interactive and informal tasting experience we know you are going to love. We have selected wines that represent the excellence and range of Burgundy, and handcrafted artisan cheeses that are perfect examples of superior summer milk, spanning a range of cheese making styles and countries. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase wines from the Burgundy Wine Company’s diverse selection during the event, and will receive 10% off the bottle for the featured wines. Tickets are $35 per person, and reservations are required. To purchase tickets, please call (212) 691-9092.

Waldemar & Nadia are making it their mission to bring the wonders of artisan cheeses to gourmands from all walks of life. With over ten years of combined cheese experience, their knowledge, freshness and unpretentious attitude invariably captivate their audience. Waldemar started his cheese career at San Francisco's renowned Market Hall Foods and Pasta Shop, then moved to New York to become Head Fromager at the Artisanal Bistro and Fromagerie. His cheese expertise has led him to appearances on Sirius radio's Eat & Drink program, PBS national television, and a feature in Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Nadia studied finance at MIT and spent six years on Wall Street before her fascination with cheese pulled her into an entirely new career. She trained in the discipline of cheese aging and went on to become Fromager at Artisanal Bistro. Waldemar & Nadia met, and the dynamic duo discovered their vision and dedication made for a great match. Whether it's a private party, a corporate event or a restaurant tasting, Waldemar & Nadia bring their passion for cheese to the table every time. Waldemar & Nadia have appeared on the Martha Stewart Sirius Radio Eat Drink show, and have had their events featured in Time Out and New Yorker magazine.
