Last week, we celebrated the retirement of cheese expert, Carlos Estrada from our La Cheeserie. Carlos joined our La Cheeserie in 1985 and has expertly led the team up until his retirement in late 2023. His illustrious career has made him a local celebrity, even earning him the title of the #1 Cheese Merchant in DC by Washingtonian Magazine. His expertise and unwavering passion for top-quality cheeses have left an incredible mark on DC's cheese industry. 🧀 His impact on our community is immeasurable, and we’ll always cherish the decades of memories made at our La Cheeserie. https://lnkd.in/eBYvk2AS

We had a delightful time at last week’s Champagne & Sparkling Wine Tasting at the Embassy of France. Our guests were treated to an exquisite experience, exploring over 50 sparkling wines from Champagne, Burgundy, and Alsace along with cheese and charcuterie, hors o’oeuvres, and special assortments from Petrossian Caviar and Olivia Macaron. 🍬 We are honored to have been able to donate $3,500 of the proceeds to World Central Kitchen, a fantastic non-profit organization founded by DC-based chef José Andrés to provide fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. As always, we would like to thank the French-American Chamber of Commerce - Washington, DC for the consistent support and partnership, always making these wonderful events something to remember! 📷 Guillaume Laplace

We had an amazing time at our Bordeaux Extravaganza at the Embassy of France last week! 🍷 The night began with an intimate VIP tasting where guests were able to mingle with Château owners, accomplished winemakers, and esteemed négociants over their finest Bordeaux. A delightful variety of wines from Bordeaux were tasted as guests could enjoy plates of cheese and charcuterie straight from our La Cheeserie, as well as appetizers provided by the Embassy kitchen. We’d like to thank the French-American Chamber of Commerce - Washington, DC, as well as our guests of honor who came out to pour for making this fabulous evening possible.
