The Pitit Pont L'Eveque was enjoyed albiet it smelled a bit like a dirty diaper (nappy) but surprised all with its good taste and texture. I have to say the Wensleydale did little for anyone, but I think I had a bad cheese. It was very chemical smelling. The Havarti was good, but probably a bit boring for such a cheese course. The Pecorino was excellent, dry crumbly and very salty.

I have to say that my friends were not big port fans. A bit too robust and sweet for their taste either that or it was the 9 bottled of chardonney and Merlot consumed prior to the port.

The entire dinner was excellent. My daughter used lots of her new cooking techniques acquired at Le Cordon Bleu in London this past summer and fall. She made Fillet Mignon Au Poivre, and served riced potatoes and celeriac in a basket of fried Romano cheese. As well as vegetables. Soupe was a cream of potato, leek and endive.   Whole experience was wonderful.

Our friends brought gifts for a motherr and daughter who is homeless, and we combined with this and my daughter and her friends in getting a whole christmas of needed things for the mom and her daughter. Instead of exchanging gifts with each other we felt this would be something nice to do. Thanks everyone for all your info. 'twas a pleasent evening
