It was held yesterday evening at a cheese shop called 38 Saint Louis located on rue Saint-Louis-en-l’Isle. Operated by Thibault Lhirondelle and Didier Grosjean, this is a great delicatessen that sells cheese, wine, sausages, and fine foods. Before setting foot there, I never realized that cheese could be so much fun.

Pierre-André Rouard of Origine Gourmet presented some of the finest salmon that I have ever tasted. It was served with a glass of diluted Highland Park whisky (2/3 water, 1/3 whisky), an eminently appropriate accompaniment for salmon.

Wine merchant Frédéric Royan presented four wines (two white and two red), which we tasted one at a time, each with a different cheese.

Thibault would call people to order from time to time so that he could announce the names of the cheeses, each of which was paired with an appropriate wine.
