Each wine has been carefully selected from various regions of France – from the lush vineyards of the Loire Valley to the rolling hills of the Rhone – are paired with artisanal cheese that complement its flavor profile. Chef Sam will present hors d’oeuvres that feature each French cheese for you to taste with its accompanying wine.
