FRIDAY 10 JULY 2015
14h30: We present the delicious documentary THE CHEESE NUN to whet your palate for the Wine & Cheese pairing which follows the film.
15h00: THE CHEESE NUN, directed by Pat Thompson (52 minutes)
Not your average organic foodie, Mother Noella Marcellino makes cheese from scratch at the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut. As her fellow mother Telchide Hinckley puts it, in their practice of cheese-making, the sisters are always thinking two things: “How can we be as monastic as possible?” and “How can we be as professional as possible?” Mother Noella got interested in creating cheeses the old-fashioned way when she became a nun in the ‘70s. She attained a PhD in microbiology and went on to study cheese making in France for three years. Her dedicated and fascinating journey is chronicled in Cheese Nun.
16h00: Mingle with Reza Mahammad and Plett’s own chefs, cheese & wine makers as they pair the best of Plett produce. 6x 50ml wine tastings, paired canapes and your own bubbly flute to take home. A complimenatry cheese and artisanal bread table and live music by Minx. A cash bar is available.
Tickets: R200.00 for The Cheese Nun and Plett Wine & Cheese pairing
