For my money, wine and cheese outpace even peanut butter and jelly as the classic combination in the world of gastronomy. Both wine and cheese can be consumed while fresh, simple and young or in their more complex forms when they are aged and mature. But let’s not forget beer! |

The Guild’s Annual General Meeting is part business and part social event. A (very) brief summary of the year’s activity and financial status will be followed by an election to fill Board of Director positions being vacated for 2010-2011. New directors will serve a two year term. While the votes are tallied, members will be given an opportunity to express their thoughts on the Guild and address questions to the retiring Board. This will be followed by a reception where food and wine will be served.
