Just reserved my space for The Bon-Vivants Wine Club Holiday Party next week hosted by à l'Alliance Française de Chicago and I hope you can attend too! It’s going to be so merry!

I have always been wanting to understand the harmonious relationship between cheeses and wines and this virtual workshop party couldn’t have come at a better time for my French themed Christmas dinner. As we celebrate the beautiful holiday season let’s learn from sommelière Alicia Barrett and cheese expert Chris Spier as they share their favorite French wines for the holidays and the most delectable French cheese pairings. You’ll receive a full list ahead of the event so you can shop in advance for les vins and les fromages.

Copying the French lifestyle has become my complete joie de vivre. I feel like I have mastered their baguette-and-wine diet, the effortless wardrobe and their glamorously undone tresses with a red lip! So it was time to move on to studying the way they do summer. In particular, the way they pique-nique. Jenna and I were both to be in Paris this summer but of course with the virus ruining all 2020 travel, we decided to bring Paris to us! It was one of my very first lady dates too through all this craziness!!!! Staying true to their carefree way of living, Parisians take the fuss-free route with their picnics. I wanted to concentrate on grabbing high-quality food and having a low-key tête-à-tête, the true Parisian way! And partnering with Les Trois Petits Cochons was the décision parfaite!!!
