Every two or three months or so, a small group of friends and I—Chanterelle alums all of us–convene at a BYOB joint in town to catch up, chow down, and share good bottles of wine.

COASTAL WINE & MOUNTAIN CHEESE at the BROOKLYN MUSEUM - A few seats remain for tomorrow night's "Fermented Riviera: France & Italy from Bandol to Cinque Terre" http://bit.ly/iIsJ0R....Often associated with free-flowing rivers of inexpensive rosé, the Côte d’Azur and Riviera Ligure also boast stunning wines truly worth writing home about. There’s also good news for cheese lovers. Two mountain ranges virtually embrace this 350-kilometer pocket of choice coastline: the Alpes Maritimes and the Apennines, protective barriers against potentially party-crashing continental climatic influence. But venture an hour or two inland by car, from pretty much anywhere across the entire perimeter of the Riviera, and you’ll encounter a treasury of some of Europe’s finest artisanal cheese terroirs.
