Paul,

I am indeed french

That plate looks gorgeous. Makes me feel hungry!

My partner is from Bourgogne and has taught me to the wonders of burgundy wines (Chassagne-Montrachet I love thee, *sighs*) But I am foremost a girl from the south where the cheeses are strong on the goat sides and the wines frank.

Can't have any kind of wine with smelling pelardon... a burgundy just won't be enough

Helen, surtout d'autres vins, mon épouse adore Le Vin Sauvage: Cahors. 

It's funny, I've moved in the opposite direction...used to cook so much from the SW, so much game, big flavors, forward things...and more and more, moved to delicacy and length...love the delicate perfume of a Côte de Brouilly, and in terms of food, have probably sought to pull it back as much as I can, without losing flavor, intrinsic flavor.  That said, in cheese, I'm squarely in the Savoie, so I'm truly confused.

It's been nice to meet you here - looking forward to seeing more of what you do.  Best of luck!

Paul
