Joyce and Gilles once again hosted an AFNWCT event, this time pairing wine with cheese. Our last wine pairing was at Evelyne Purdy’s and once again had our resident wine expert, Diane Bolduc, guide us through four different wines each paired with three different cheeses. Cheeses selected and presented by Evelyne. After a short introductory presentation by Diane, we were asked to rate our favorites. That is, after sampling everything.

It broke his heart, but John Lamb, the host of Cocktail de Rentrée for many many years, was suddenly unable to host. Evelyne swooped in and saved the day.

This year AFNWCT members, Kristina Jorgensen, Julie Jochum and one potential member Susan Anthony-Klein, volunteered their musical talents.
