With good reason, French cheese and wine is celebrated as some of the world’s best. They invented triple-cremes and sparkling wine that begs for reasons to celebrate, after all. But sometimes the region’s offerings can seem a little tricky. In this class, cheese and wine expert Kirstin Jackson will break down France’s complicated wine labels and specific cheese regions to teach you how to harmoniously enjoy the two together, à la Française. You’ll learn that the country’s pairings are all about tradition, regional combinations, and that once you have the basics down, pairing is actually quite easy. By the end of the class, you’ll have the tools to pair at home, and perhaps more important, after 4 wines, and 7 cheeses, you’ll also be very happy.

Bottles of wines sampled in class will be available for purchase, so bring a credit card and a bag to take home your favorites.
