by David Lagnese 03 May '14

Hello Neighbors, We are having an open house for the new Wheel and Wedge Cheese Shop which opened recently in the Pittsburgh Public Market. We would like to extend the invite to our Highland Park neighbors. The event starts at 2:00 tomorrow, Sunday May 4th. The marathon should be over and streets reopened by then. Please see below for details. David and Cristy Lagnese ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** > Hello fellow cheese-lovers! > > It's finally spring and we're ready to celebrate. Join us at the Pittsburgh Public Market (PPM) this Sunday, May 4th from 2-5 pm for our first Friends and Family event to kick off the summer season. We will have live jazz, light hors d'oeuvres, local beers and plenty of cheese, of course. Expect to see some old favorites as well as some new exciting cheeses: two new cave aged cheeses and a young sheep's milk cheese. Spread the word about Wheel and Wedge to your friends and family and we hope to see you there! > > Wheel and Wedge is new to the local food scene in Pittsburgh. Started by David and Cristina Lagnese, it builds on their efforts to sell locally made cheese at the Farmers Market Coop of East Liberty. We focus on selling local and regional artisan cheeses.
