Tasting sheet to fill out during your cheese and wine tastings
During our workshops, classes and events on wine and cheese tasting, you are given a Le Cheese Geek booklet to take notes during the tasting. The booklet allows you to concentrate during the cheese tasting and to keep track of the cheeses you’ve tasted. It will also ensure that you have tasting notes easily accessible and that you continue to take notes for your next cheese discoveries.
Le Cheese Geek would like to share their tasting sheet with you so that you can use it during your cheese tastings at home or with your colleagues.
