Abacus chef-owner Kent Rathbun teams with master cheesemaker Sid Cook from Carr Valley Cheese Co. and Deerfield Ranch Winery owner-winemaker Robert Rex for a Wisconsin cheese and wine dinner at 6:30 p.m. on July 30.

Our friends at SideDish got this up a few hours ago, but here's the extra piece you need to know: The price is $125 per person plus tax and gratuity. To make a reservation, e-mail Donna Tanner here or call 469-867-3681. Abacus us at 4511 McKinney.

Cook's bringing his Gran Canaria, which won 2004 best of show at the American Cheese Society competition. Aged in olive oil, it's a mix of cow, sheep and goat milks. "Fruity, nutty, sweet, intense and pungent" says the Web site. He'll also have his award-winning cocoa-rubbed Cardona. Other Wisconsin cheeses will also be on the menu. Jump to check it out.
