Food Talk in the Dining Car with Clark Wolf

Cheese People and the California Artisan Cheese Festival

Clark welcomes three guests in the studio for a conversation on the eve of the 20th California Artisan Cheese Festival: Guild Executive Director Alyssa Gilbert, Maureen Cunnie of Fromagex, and Rick Lafranchi of Nicasio Valley Cheese Company. The conversation ranges from how the Guild and the Festival began 20 years ago, the evolution of artisan cheese, what to expect at this year’s Festival, insider tips about the Marketplace, and a tasting of Nicasio Valley cheeses.
