2009 Sake Tasting!

We were drinking some chilled sake on the porch the other night and the sake fairy came down and told us that we had to do another sake night at CoWineCo (aka, drunk). 

Joel Porter, sake specialist with Epic Wines - the national importer of Kura Selections, will be joining us to guide you through this maze of yummy. 

Jodi over @ Auntie Em's will be pairing some tasty cheeses to go with the tasting as well.  Never thought of sake and cheese?  Both are created through mold and fermentation and their similarities are elevated when you taste them side by side.  Seriously....it works even better than sushi.
