On September 13, the Boulder branch of KPMG, a global audit, tax, and advisory firm, asked Haystack Mountain to partner up on a wine and cheese presentation with Denver-based sommelier/wine consultant, Rob McKenzie.
The event was for 50 members of the KPMG community attending the Boulder Business Partner Appreciation Reception, so it was only fitting that we chose cheese accompaniments grown or produced by local farmers and food artisans. We worked closely with Bravo’s Top Chef Season 5 Winner/founder of Blackbelly Catering, Hosea Rosenberg, MM Local, and Olomomo Nut Co to find the perfect pairings. In the words of KPMG Senior Associate/Event Coordinator Michele Willett,
“By demonstrating the value of pairing specialty wine and cheese/accompaniments together, you led the guests to understand that two separate goods can equal one phenomenal effect. You created a fantastic experience for the guests.”
Haystack Mountain Queso de Mano and Blackbelly Smoked Berkshire Ham...what a marriage!
Not to toot our own horn, but the event kicked ass! Our mission with these kinds of events is to educate and entertain, and that’s precisely what unfolded on this beautiful late summer evening.
