When I fancy just a glass of wine and amazing cheese, there is only place for me, and that’s La Cave à Fromage. You go in. You tell them you want cheese and you want wine. They bring it to you. It’s amazing. End of story. 

I had a girls’ night in recently and one of the girls brought a selection of cheeses from La Cave a Fromage in South Kensington. I’ve had a lot of cheese in my time, but I have say that there were a few selections from this cheese plate that blew my mind.

Here’s what I thought of each cheese:

• Comte Grand Reserve: A very good compte. The flavour here was fairly subtle.
• Bellingham Blue: One of the best blue cheeses I have had in a long time. Smooth, pungent, but no after taste.
• Brin D’Amour: A light, rosemary-crusted soft cheese. While very good, it was the plain Jane of the group.
• Rocamadour: Gooey and packed with a punch, this is the reason you eat cheese.
• Plaisir au Chablis: The belle of the ball, this is a cheese that has changed my life. I crave this cheese now. I want to eat it every day.

The girls and I are already planning an evening out at La Cave a Fromage and me and the Chablis are planning our wedding.
