Summary:
This was so much fun! Geraud gave us so much information about the history of cheese, its production, various French terroirs, and the different types (families) of cheeses. He was very generous…I think we tried eleven different cheeses. The last was a chocolate chili cheese, yum!! The pairings were two white wines, a hard cider, a red wine, and a dessert wine. He told us many cheese “stories” to keep us entertained. He has a beautiful shop that you will definitely want to browse in. Highly recommend!
