An entity called Cheeses of France is in town today giving out samples of 21 kinds of French cheese, cheesy hors d’oeuvres, and wine, all for FREE. While Cheeses of France promises “some pretty amazing and hard-to-find stuff,” a cheese snob will recognize a number of unimpressive industrial-production cheeses on offer—still, though, FREE CHEESE AND WINE. Also: actual French people to tell you about the cheeses with the appropriate accent. Ask them why the hell they brought Fromage Frais Strawberry, a strawberry-flavored cheese spread. (The Piranha Shop, 1022 First Ave S, 11 am–7 pm, free, 21+)
