Ben Sorensen - Our Grape Stomp Host, MC, and much more...
The quirky, eccentric, bearded, comedian, voiceover guy, writer, cheese and wine consuming, witty master of banter, Ben Sorensen will be our special guest MC for this year’s Wine & Cheese festival creating a whirlwind of fun and cheesy commentary! It’s going to Brie a Gouda time for all with more of Ben’s puns than you can Camembert! More than a little cheesy but it’s Stilton funny.
