CONCORDE WINE CLUB
Want to learn more about wines in a relaxed and social setting - why not try our Wine Club. With meetings on the first Monday of each month the tastings cover a wide range of grape varieties and styles from many countries, occasionally complimented by food.
MONDAY 2 SEPTEMBER – FRENCH WINES & ENGLISH CHEESES
To start off our tastings for the new season we are pleased to welcome for the first time Andy Bryant from The Box of Cheese, who will be presenting a range of cheeses to compliment the French Wines selected by John Purkess, Chair, Concorde Wine Club
Here’s a snapshot of Andy:
‘My name’s Andy, and I love cheese. Great cheese. Proper cheese. Cheese hand-made with love and care on the farm. Cheese made to ancient recipes or new, exciting cheese created by young cheesemakers. Cheese that everyone has heard of and cheeses that are hard to find. I have worked in the world of cheese for a very long time! I have made cheese or sold cheese for as long as I can remember, and I still love it. My love of cheese is genuine and I want to share that passion with you.
I am driven by an appreciation of good quality food, and I want to support small, independent producers who really care about the cheeses that they create. Nothing beats the excitement of discovering new cheeses, I feel that it is my little secret when I find a cheese in a little deli that is not well known, that you can’t find in a supermarket’. www.theboxofcheese.co.uk
