Recently I attended a Bastille Day Cheese and Wine Tasting lead by Allison Spurrel the cheese master.

Vive la France: With Allison guiding us all through each of the 4 plates of cheeses that were carefully paired with wines from France we had a chance to explore some of the many regions from France. This tasting offered an insight to best that France has to offer, and included some classic cheese pairings with wines from the Alsace, Loire valley and Bordeaux.

Anyone who loves cheese and wine should look out for upcoming tastings at Au Petit Chavignol. Costs of their tastings range in price and often fill up in advance. You can check out their schedule online or phone 604-255-4218 for upcoming tastings and classes.
