The hype about Living on the Wedge is that it does for artisan cheesemakers what Sideways did for wine. It's screening tomorrow, fittingly, at Local 121.

Join Louella Hill from Narraganset Creamery for a screening and discussion of Marianna Coyne’s documentary, “Living on the Wedge:  Wisconsin’s Artisan Cheesemakers” on Wednesday, March 12th at 7:00 p.m. in the Speakeasy at Local 121.  "Living on the Wedge" is a one-hour documentary about the passion and personalities behind the artisan cheesemaking movement. Produced by Chicago-area filmmaker Gaylon Emerzia, it's a finalist for a James Beard Award. The film is structured as an "insider's tour" of "the state that cheese made." The engaging on-screen host, Mariana Coyne, invites us along as she drives through southwestern Wisconsin, from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, with additional stops at Larry's Brown Deer Market in Brown Deer, the annual Cheese Days in Monroe, the U.S. Cheese Championship in Milwaukee, and the Dane County Farmers Market in Madison. Odessa Piper of L'Etoile restaurant fame makes a cameo appearance.
