Worst Cheese (and wine) experience

I think that it is rather appropriate to move from one of the BEST cheese experiences in London to maybe one of the WORST - it also sets up my next post well as what ever it is it will look seriously amazing.

After having finished a busy day at work I like nothing more than lashings of (not Ginger beer, we are not the famous five) red wine and full bodied cheese board.

2 colleagues and I having purchased a discount on a cheese and wine tasting on a website had chosen the date we would go and set off our bargain cheese and wine tasting. We were genuinely rubbing our hands with glee in the tube on the way there.

We arrived at a stunning location in London - offering panoramic views of the city as the sun was setting. Naturally we were late and floundered around outside the double doors where the cheese and wine tasting was happening.

Finally i pushed one of my colleagues through the doors and we stumbled through the doors together to our table muttering apologies for our lateness.

There were 10 large round tables full of suits and the like listening intently to the dullest man on earth droan on about the wine he was holding - suddenly we realised maybe this was not going to be the experience we had hoped for. And yes i know what your thinking, "well its a cheese and wine tasting what did i expect!?"  

Enough already just pour us the bloody wine!

After our thimble of wine was poured by our frankly rude and rather brash waiters, the cheese was brought out for us to sample along side the wine. Apparently they were meant to compliment each other.

Now Listen, I'm all for a bit of wine and cheese education but nothing prepared me for the monstrosity that ensued....brace yourselves...and take a peek at the picture below



seriously...

 Breath..reader..breath. Its going to be OK. Actually, do you know what? it was not OK! This is so not OK. If cheese police existed it would have been arrested.

As a result, we left early and went for dinner. Life sucks eh?!

I would like to end with a quote of a fellow cheese lover who is the quickest red wine drinker I have ever met.

I commend you.

"It was sh&t"
