Our host and sommelier\, Peter Klann from The Good Food Project\, will show us how to select\, enjoy and describe both wine and cheese and how to pair them like a pro. \nParticipants will need to purchase any three wines and cheeses before the event. Peter will show us how to explore them\, identify what we like and why\, and buy and pair with confidence. He’ll explain how to recognize and describe the tastes\, aromas\, and flavors in a variety of wines and cheeses\, and uncover the science behind pairing wine and food. We’ll discuss the varietals\, what they have in common\, their terroir and notes\, as well as how to use a tasting wheel. We’ll go over tasting\, focusing on the impact each wine’s location and grape blend has on its flavor profile. Next\, we’ll discuss what makes each cheese unique and the qualities that come from the milk choice and aging process\, tasting as we go. Then we’ll combine the two experiences and experiment with pairing each cheese with the wine varieties. \nThere will be a time in the end for questions to ensure everyone leaves with a new understanding of how to pair wine and cheese like experts! \nNote: The Zoom meeting link will be sent along with a confirmation email\, after registration has been completed.

What was once a clearly sign-posted path as you progressed through milestones\, a career road map is now circuitous presenting new challenges and opportunities at every bend.

Both employers and employees are seeking more diversity of experience\, lifestyle flexibility and alternative paths. \nThis panel is designed to help you think about your career path and the different options that are open to you. The panel will have an informational interview type feel with panelists sharing their career paths\, a look at what their job entails\, transferrable skills for those looking to make a change\, tips for uncovering opportunities\, advice for others\, and how to make brave leaps. \nAgenda: \n5 mins: Welcome\n60 mins: Panel discussion\n10 mins: Small group speed networking\n5 mins: Learnings\n10 mins: Small group speed networking URL:https://bioct.org/event/career-possibilities-panel-speed-networking-rd-discovery-hosted-by-west/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
