For all the Oenophiles out there, and for everyone who loves Wine and Cheese, this is a nice article about two of the great treasures of France.

Thanks very much for posting this. I drink a lot of white wine with various foods and cheese. I live in Texas and it’s too hot there for much of the year for reds.
Sounds like a great restaurant to try.
I do like and drink a lot of reds with lamb and beef, etc. Nothing better than a good cab with grilled lamb or beef.
And God do I love cheese. I don’t eat a lot of it too much anymore because of cholesterol, etc. and all that boring stuff. Cheese is right up there with sex and ice cream for good things.
We be invaded?
I haven’t been able to get flash working in Gutsy yet.
I have an old-fashioned doctor who says giving up stuff that you love is DEFINITELY hazardous to your health — or at least your enjoyment of life. Because when you stop enjoying it — what’s the point?

Your doctor sounds very wise.
Do as the French do...everything in moderation. They live the longest and have the lowest rates of Cancer and Heart Disease
It seems it should be "Wine or cheese party". My choice would be, good cheese with water or good wine with no cheese.

I have had cheese with both red and white wine. My personal thoughts are that cheeses and wines vary so much that a hard-line rule does not work well. Personally, I find a white is fine with a mild cheese, but a red goes well with something hearty. Again, a personal preference. I wonder if my boss will allow me to enjoy some merlot and some nicely aged triple creme brie in my office...
At $1000 a bottle, Le Montrachet is a rather expensive white wine alternative to your top of the line reds, M. de Villaine. But it is excellent!
Exactly. Life is not just to be endured or survived, it is to be enjoyed, fulfilled and lived happily, insightfully and meaningfully among other things.
Quality is just as important as quantity.
Why heck, that’s only about $200 to $250 a glass, you got a problem with that?
Kind of a damn shame that I will probably never experience Chateau Petrus, Le Montrachet, Romanee Conti, etc., before I expire unless I win the lottery or go crazy and rob a really good wine store.
Another wine junkie friend of mine and I joke about breaking into some rich persons extravagant wine cellar and leaving behind a bunch of empty bottles, bread crumbs and cheese rinds with smart alecky tasting notes. What else can poor wine snobs do?
My secret:
1. Expense accounts, 2. Business lunches paid for by clients with larger expense accounts.
I’m free for lunch anytime you’re ready with a rich client. I can advise on the wine.
Oh when men were stars...and dancers were straight ..beautiful clip—thanks
Chateau Petrus? With the sweetbreads?
