Let Us Reduce Your Confusion
When you approach a well stocked cheese counter, are you filled with excitement or dread? And when it comes to French wine, why can’t they just name them by the grape and be done??

Are you excited or petrified of the cheese case? Let us help!

October French Wine and Cheese at Whole Foods
During the entire month of October, Whole Foods Market will be promoting wines and cheeses from France, with a nice selection of both at over 300 Whole Foods locations in 42 states. As part of their promotion, Whole Foods Market has provided the French #Winophiles group with the wines and a selection of cheeses as samples.

What a great selection of affordable French wines available at Whole Foods Market

Of course, as French wine and cheese fans, we didn’t need much encouragement to say “YES!” and to jump right in.

So please join the #Winophiles and Whole Foods in a kickoff event on Facebook Live on Thursday October 5 at 5:30pm EDT. Whole Foods master sommelier Devon Broglie and cheese buyer Cathy Strange will be discussing some great pairings. Our French Winophiles group will be participating in the chat and blogging about our experiences as well.
