The "Wine & Cheese Club" is a group of friends who get together every couple of months to socialize and try new wines and cheeses. It began with a few women, including myself, who are abnormally passionate about cheese and who want to try as many different kinds as possible before leaving Brussels. This is a daunting task even for us as Brussels is a cheese-lovers paradise. The sheer amount of French and Belgian cheeses one can indulge in is awesome! Not to mention cheeses from other countries like the Netherlands and Germany. As you can see, this task keeps us very busy.
Of course, you can't have cheese without wine so each person brings a bottle of wine and some cheese to share. The host usually provides a few other snacks, such as olives (that's a whole different topic in and of itself) that go well with cheese. However, these snacks should not outshine the main star of the show---CHEESE :-)
Here are a few pictures from a gathering that I had in May.
There are 2 cheese boards full of cheese and I had not even put all of the cheese out yet!
