Setting up a cheese board and pairing it with a good bottle of wine was something that I had been missing and craving for a while. And honestly, what I missed the most were the good things usually happening around a cheese board and a good glass of wine<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cheese board is a perfect excuse to gather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In other words, I was missing the conversations, and the celebration of life and friendship, the things that matter in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been 30 long weeks since I secluded myself at home, avoiding going out or meeting in person with friends. I work at home, and both my children are homeschooled. I do have a pretty active virtual social life. But I must confess: I have been missing the real stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when Decoy asked me to create a cheese board and pair it with the superb coupage Decoy Limited Red Wine, 2018, I couldn\u2019t be happier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, last Friday, I invited two friends to spend a girls\u2019 evening at my terrace\u2026  chatting, sharing, sipping wine, and enjoying a nice selection of cheeses and charcuterie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, we have already survived 75% of this unprecedented year. Most of all: we have so many reasons to be thankful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original plan was to have an outdoor gathering. But Miami’s weather didn\u2019t help us. So we stayed inside, lit candles, and enjoyed our well-deserved bottle of wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
