holy crap....people actually still drink 40's?

wow, thanx for all the great replies thus far guys! you've all been a great resource for a nOOb traveler like myself.... i'll be looking into a lot of that.....especially the roquefort caves... i've wanted to go there for a while. i'm starting to get the feeling i won't care much to leave france once i get there....

i'm all about alex farms too....although that cheese boutique is mighty fine lookin'! i'll have to check it out....

the best dim-sum in the GTA is called "ding-tai-fung". it's located in the plaza just east of woodbine, on Hwy.7 in markham. infact, markham has much better chinese food overall compared to the chinatowns in toronto. (spadina, and gerrard respectively) booo-ya!

hello egulleters, this is my first post! i'm currently in the quasi-planning stages of a trip to europe in march of 2005. we will be in france for around 8-10 days and i'd really like to make a day trip or 2 to some of the artisinal cheese farms to sample some regional specialties AT THE SOURCE! (the very thought of it gets me all riled up) i'm a fan of all kinds of cheese, so anything that you'd recomend would be great to increase my knowledge base at the very least.....i must admit i'm partial to blue cheeses over most though. does anyone know if i need to book a tour to do things like this? can we just show up? if arrangements DO need to be made in advance, does anyone have any resources for contact info. on any recomended farms? thank you for any help or knowledge you have to offer...cheers!
