A Taste of France Series | 50+ YRS Josie Gonot Join Miss Josie Gonot, a Taste of France, for these authentic dégustation, or tastings.

A TASTE OF FRENCH PÂTÉ Guests sample traditional pâtés, or savory spreads, some made in the local area. Contrary to popular belief, most of these small-batch potted spreads are not expensive. Samples may include a Smoked Salmon Pâté and a coarse Mushroom Pâté de Campagne both made by The Three Little Pigs Kitchen. And won’t you feel chic and sassy as the only one at the cocktail party who can calmly explain the difference between the pâté and the terrine? 553565 A 1:30-3 pm Tu 9/19 Senior Center Bldg 2, Rm 204 $14 A TASTE OF FRENCH CHEESE There are over 400 kinds of cheese produced in France. Many are “ Triple-Crème ,” the legal name for a French cheese more than 75% butterfat. Our creamy tasting tour may stop in La Brie, the famous village of Roquefort, the mountainous regions of La Chèvre and the historic Normandy town of Camembert. For each cheese, guests receive an information sheet to keep. It contains buying tips, serving ideas and suggested wine combinations. 553566 A 1:30-3 pm Tu 10/10 Senior Center Bldg 2, Rm 204 $14

A TASTE OF FRENCH CHOCOLATE Guests sample three-four different grades of a famous French brand of chocolate, Valrohna . Samples may range from the sweet milk chocolate “ Jivara ” to the very dark and bitter “ Guanaja ” at 70% cacao.
