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.

Further on: “If you go back 100 years or more, you’ll see from menus that people were willing to shift gears during the meal,” he said. “Cheeses diminish wine, especially red wines.”

It seems it should be "Wine or cheese party". My choice would be, good cheese with water or good wine with no cheese.

With cheeses, de Villaine pours Le Montrachet, a buttery white Burgundy, never his top-of-the-line reds. “I do not want my great wines ruined by cheese,” he told me.

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!
