June 24, 2010
MADISON, Wis.—Wisconsin is home to the finest in award-winning cheeses, and this summer Door County's Savory Spoon Cooking School and Schoolhouse Creamery is offering a tantalizing taste of some of their favorites.

The tastings begin at 6 p.m. on eight dates throughout the summer, and start at $30 per evening.
