- Wine and Cheese – Tuesday, January 26
In France, cheese isn’t just a food; it's part of a lifestyle, part of a cultural heritage. At the table, the French traditionally incorporate a cheese course after the main dish and before the dessert or as a substitute for dessert. As with wine and artisanal breads, French cheeses manifest a sense of place; they reflect the “terroir” of where they are made. Join us as we explore cheese styles, how cheese is made, how to serve cheese and how to pair cheese with wine.

- Wines of Provence – Tuesday, April 13
Provence… the name conjures up images of charming hilltop villages, terraced vineyards, rocky hillsides, pastel meadows, intensely blue skies, windswept seashores, and open-air cafés serving bouillabaisse and rosé.
Made famous by the Impressionist artists Van Gogh, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso and popularized more recently in America by Peter Mayle's book A Year in Provence, this sun-drenched region is set in the southeastern corner of France, along the Mediterranean Sea. Provence wines are a direct expression of the "terroir", the land and the people that produce them: landscapes and faces with character—original and different.
