So six slots just opened up for tonight's previously sold-out cheese-pairing course at Garces Trading Co. (1111 Locust St.). These tastings ($65 a head), which GTC hosts the first Tuesday of each month, members of Jose Garces' fromage squad school the curd-curious on a wide variety of cheeses, paired up with wines and beers. Tonight's class, which'll run from 5:30 p.m. till about 7 start promptly at 6:30 (get there early), is a departure from form in that they're expanding the scope to feature both more students (there's usually only 12 seats) and more to eat they'll feature quesos from Vermont's Jasper Hill Farm in five dishes paired with beers from Philadelphia Brewing Co. Eats tonight will include Jasper Hill's mortadella in a fondue paired with PBC's PA Pale Ale; the creamery's Constant Bliss with a pear fritter, pear gastrique and mizuna, paired with Kenzinger; and agrodolce pork ribs and Anson Mills grits alongside a Newbold IPA. Call 215-574-1099 if you want in.

The time for tonight's class is incorrect. I just called Garces Trading Co. to confirm, and they double checked and told me that tonight's class goes from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.
