The Columbus Avenue Match: West Side Wines and Gastronomie 491 Cheese

Yes, the days are growing shorter and the nights are growing chillier but that isn't the most important change of the season! The wines are different and so are the cheeses. Autumn is prime time for amazing wines, richer and more sublime, and this is the best time of year for cheese, so many full bodied flavors in every ounce.
Please join us Tuesday October 8 at 7 pm at Gastronmie 491, 491 Columbus Avenue (between 83rd and 84th) for a pairing of exceptional wines and cheeses. Andy Besch, owner of West Side Wines, and author of "The Wine Guy: Everything You Want to Know about Buying and Enjoying Wine from Someone Who Sells It," will present six awesome wines, which will be chosen to match six extraordinary cheeses from the Gastronomie 491 selection. Martin Johnson, the lead cheesemonger at Gastronomie and one of the leading cheese wits in the city (or at least the New York Times thinks so, http://bit.ly/VSYuhe, will present the cheeses. A good time is guaranteed. Tickets are $20.
