T<\/span>he COVID-19 crisis has changed the way we celebrate holidays in 2020: Bars were shut down on <\/span>St. Patrick\u2019s Day<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Memorial Day<\/span><\/a> gatherings were kept to a minimum, and <\/span>4th of July<\/span><\/a> firework shows were cancelled. Other countries across the globe are experiencing similar celebrational shifts. July 14 is Bastille Day\u2014France\u2019s national holiday. It marks the beginning of the French Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of the French Republic. In Paris this year, the traditional military parade down the Champs-\u00b4Elys\u00e9es will be replaced by a tribute to frontline heros in the Place de la Concorde, the French National Orchestra will play at the Eiffel Tower for a virtual audience, and the always spectacular fireworks show may only be viewed at a distance or on television. <\/span><\/p>\n

We may not be able to celebrate <\/span>Bastille Day<\/span><\/a> in the City of Lights, but we can still honor France and the richness of French culture at home. Take a trip to your local cheese shop (or its website) to grab some of these iconic <\/span>fromages<\/span><\/i> and an accompanying bottle of <\/span>vin<\/span><\/i>, and stream the fireworks show. These iconic pairings will <\/span>almost<\/span><\/i> make you feel like you\u2019re right there at the Eiffel Tower.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mimolette<\/a> + Malbec<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the most iconically recognizable wheels, Mimolette has a distinct orange hue and nutty flavor that keeps turophiles (and aesthetes) coming back for more. It was first produced centuries ago by French cheese makers who were inspired by Dutch Edam\u2014a banned product at the time\u2014and created a <\/span>distinguishable orange-dyed alternative<\/span><\/a>. Pair the vibrant wedge with a glass of full-bodied Malbec, and let the bold flavors join forces for a rich and luscious combination.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00c9poisses de Bourgogne<\/a> + Champagne<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n

Nothing says French indulgence like a traditional stinky cheese paired with bubbles. And \u00c9poisses, a washed-rind wheel made from unpasteurized cow\u2019s milk, is a favorite for funk lovers. Let the fromage get to room temperature before spreading it on a baguette (or eating it with a spoon\u2014no judgment here) and pop the cork of a traditional Champagne to bring out its earthy and buttery notes. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Comt\u00e9<\/a> + Savignin<\/a> <\/b><\/h3>\n

Often dubbed <\/span>France\u2019s most popular cheese<\/span><\/a>, Comt\u00e9 is a wheel you can\u2019t skip out on when celebrating French culture. The Alpine-style fromage is made from raw cow\u2019s milk in the Jura Mountain region of France, and evokes <\/span>complex flavors<\/span><\/a> ranging from dry hazelnuts to dark chocolate to meat broth. Enjoy it with a glass of Savignin, a dry white wine with light citrusy notes\u2014also native to the Jura region\u2014for a pairing that screams terroir. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1924 Bleu<\/a> + Sauternes<\/a> <\/b><\/h3>\n

Dessert anyone? The perfect way to end a traditional French meal is with cheese, of course\u2014a <\/span>commonly held tradition<\/span><\/a> that\u2019s being rekindled in France and beyond. And adding a sweet wine to the mix will satisfy any sweet tooth\u2019s palate. This wedge\u2014a mixed-milk blue with a strong, buttery flavor\u2014gets elevated to decadent dessert status when paired with a honey topping and a sweet French wine, like the elegant and fruity Sauternes. <\/span>\u00c0 votre sant\u00e9!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
