Ooh, La La – Join Thousands Around the World at a French Cocktail Party
Be sure to include some luscious camembert at your party.
This little tidbit of foodie news jumped to my attention because of my Entertaining blog site on About.com. The French, with the objective of making their food appear more consumer-friendly, are promoting June 4 as the day to host a French Cocktail Hour House Party.
The event will be a combination of large city events and smaller parties in private homes in 19 countries around the globe. They are hoping to convince 1,000 homes to host one of these parties, and have arranged for French wine and cheese discounts, as well as French party supply goodie bags, for the selected households. The French government is underwriting 60% of this promotion, and the applications are being processed in the U.S. by House Party, Inc. Whether or not you agree with French politics, you can’t argue with their wine, cheese or this fun opportunity.
