Last night I attended a Wine and Cheese Party with several other women. It wasn’t like an appetizer party where everyone brings something to share. Sometimes you BYOB too. It wasn’t a sit-down dinner nor was it a dessert and coffee affair. But it was great fun.
There was an abundance of cheese: baby Swiss, Manchego, Cheddar, Mozzarella. The warm Brie on a baguette was my favorite. There was an abundance of crackers, olives, and fruit too.
Not to mention the abundance of wines. I think the object was to sample several, but I noticed everyone picked her favorite and stuck with it. I’m not a wine person, but I sipped a Riesling.
It was a ladies only event, although most of the attendees had husbands at home who either fended for themselves for supper or ate early. And what I noticed most was how freely the conversation flowed, how much the women wanted to talk.
They weren’t complaining about their husbands or whining about politics. They weren’t offering academic opinions either, although Project 202 did come up briefly. It was just a group of women who wanted to be together a couple hours and kick back.
