I LOVE daily deals and I buy them all the time. Last month GroupOn featured a deal from a well-known cheese enterprise in New York called Artisanal to take a Cheese & Wine 101 class for $65 for two people (originally $150). Artisanal is a very popular restaurant in NYC that serves all things cheese. They specialize in fondue and even have a small cheese cellar that you can ask to be seated in for a special occasion. I went here last summer when I had friends in town from Cincinnati - you care read that post here. Great place!
The class Joe and I signed up for focused on the nutrition aspect of cheese and wine. There is nothing like celebrating cheese and wine on a Saturday afternoon only to be told that the more cheese you eat the better! The class had us try seven cheeses with four wines and you were asked to keep track of your favorite pairings. I never realized that there are very bad pairings of cheese and wine but there definitely are. The class lasted two hours and they really make sure you leave with a full stomach and abuzz. My wine glasses were never close to empty so you definitely get your money's worth :)
I highly recommend taking one of these classes. The next one we want to take is called Hands On: Mozzarella where you make buffalo and burrata mozzarella. Yum!!!!!
