French Classics

371 Putnam Avenue, Cambridge MA

Description

We'll be exploring a diverse array of French cheese and charcuterie, perfectly paired with our favorite wines, sweets, and snacks! A French proverb claims, “un fromage par jour de l’année” – there is a different cheese for every day of the year. With hundreds of varieties of cheese and wine, each with regional traditions and generations of expertise, it is no wonder that France is considered to be at the pinnacle of cheese and winemaking. In this class, our wine and cheese experts will guide you through the French classics, including several cheeses not found anywhere else in the United States! Alongside this epic cheese flight, we will be pairing four classic French wines to highlight French winemaking traditions and how they incorperate seamlessly with French cheese. By the end of this class, you will be sure to be proclaiming, "Vive le Fromage!" We are raising funds for the Cambridge Community Center to support their ongoing virtual learning initiatives. This class will take place virtually at 8 pm on Saturday, February 27th. To fully participate, please follow these three easy steps: 1. Reserve your ticket through Eventbrite!
