The Cheese Board Collective here in Berkeley is having their second Wine and Cheese Bar on Thursday September 29 between 7 pm and 9 pm.
Here's the text from the email:
Hello Everyone,
The CheesebAR is back! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first event in August, it was great to see such a warm response. We will be offering an enchanting selection of French cheeses along with an even more alluring selection of wine. Accompanying us for the night will also be Odile Levault, French chanteuse-accordionist and head mistress of the Parisian music band the Baguette Quartette.

Connie, Ryan and I attended the event in August. We got our little bits of cheese, baguette, and olives. Seating was limited, as always, so we headed out to sit on the street divider, blithely ignoring the signs saying such an action was illegal. It's a true Berkeley experience.
At any rate, those of you who are local, I strongly suggest you attend this. I do confess, however, the cheese was not quite enough to make a meal, so we headed down to Popeye's later. Ahem.
