The Spirited Cheese Tasting at Zingerman’s Events on 4th
Join our cheesemongers Tonight, June 23, 7pm for a spirited evening as we explore the potential of combining a really good cheese plate with our favorite distilled beverages. Happy hour will never be the same and a dessert plate will take on new meaning after an evening comparing the traditions between distillation and cheese production. Whether you are looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift or just want to learn more about really good cheese and mixers with friends, this will be fun for all.
ZingTrain Speaker Series: Anese Cavanaugh
Anese Cavanaugh knows that you are an impact machine! She believes you have super powers! In fact, Anese believes it so strongly that she came up with the IEP method to help you to tap into that impact machine, that superpower. Because it is totally in your control!
Here’s the thing. Whether it’s your boss your interacting with, or your peers or customers or family, or your dog for that matter – how you Show Up is influencing how they feel, how you feel and ultimately the results you get. Our words only determine 7% of our impact, the other 93% is in how we Show Up. In our intentions, energy, and presence (our IEP).
Join us Wednesday, June 24, 8am, to learn how to strengthen your own IEP (from the inside out) so that you can create the results and relationships you want in a way that leaves you buzzing and blazing versus bummed, busy, and burnt out. And change your relationship with busy, burnout and other things that bum you out, once and for all

Cornman Farms Cocktail Class: The Green Fairy
Absinthe is an anise-flavored herbal spirit with a long and tortured history. Strongly herb-flavored and often very high in alcohol, this spirit known as “the green fairy” was the drink of choice among the Bohemian set in Paris around the turn of the 20th century. Wrongly labeled as both a hallucinogenic and the cause of many social ills, Absinthe was subsequently banned in much of Europe and the United States for roughly a century. Recent changes in legislation on both sides of the pond have resurrected this intense yet delectable liquor. On Thursday, July 16, 7pm, we will discuss the history of absinthe (and the wormwood it contains) while crafting three classic cocktails created around the previously-maligned spirit: the Asylum, the Death in the Afternoon, and the Corpse Reviver #2. The class includes instruction and discussion, three cocktails, tasty snacks prepared in the farmhouse kitchen, and recipes.
See you soon!
