'Rest of the Story' Lecture Series Features Cheesemonger - March 07, 2008
GREAT BARRINGTON – Award-winning cheesemonger Matthew Rubiner will share his knowledge of the world of cheese in “Cheese 101,” part of Berkshire Living’s award-winning “Rest of the Story” free public forum series, on Sunday, March 30, at 11 a.m., at the Triplex Cinema in Great Barrington.
The event will include a cheese-tasting and a question-and-answer session with Rubiner, the owner of Rubiner's Cheesemongers and Grocers, located across the parking lot from the cinema.
First as main cheese buyer for Cambridge's Formaggio Kitchen, and now at his own shop housed in the former Great Barrington Savings Bank building downtown, Rubiner — a one-time research director at MIT's Center for International Studies who is profiled in the current issue of Berkshire Living — has fulfilled a lifelong dream of selling handmade, artisanal cheeses. In addition to a variety of specialty foods, Rubiner's shop stocks over one hundred cheeses from all over the world, including from right here in the Berkshires.
Each month, Berkshire Living, an award-winning regional lifestyle and culture magazine, and the Triplex join forces to present "The Rest of the Story," based on an article running in the concurrent issue of the magazine. The series has won an award for Community Service from the City and Regional Magazine Association two years in a row. For more information, call Berkshire Living at 413-528-3600. |
