Cheese and wine is one of the best food and drink pairings in human history; however there's a difference between a slab of supermarket brie devoured over some cheap plonk, and, well, the good stuff. If you need some help getting into the latter — or you just want to treat yo'self every fortnight, then you'll want to make a date with Vieille Branche's Cheese & Wine Club.
Taking place every second Thursday from 6.30pm, the event changes its focus each time around — switching between wine regions and types of cheese. You'll eat, you'll sip, you'll learn, you'll expand your horizons. And if you love what you're consuming, you can buy more afterwards.
March 29 sees the Bordeaux region in the spotlight, April 12 is all about truffles and April 26 sends your tastebuds to Burgundy. Each session involves multiple wines with matching cheeses, and while $90 per person per class isn't cheap, good dairy and vino is worth it.
