On April 30, 2010, the Global English Outreach (GEO) program of the Catholic University of Korea hosted a Wine-and-Cheese Party for its students at the Global Lounge.

It is unclear when people started eating cheese while drinking wine. Wine was first produced as early as 8,000 years ago. Cheese was also first made at roughly the same time. People have been enjoying cheese with wine for centuries.

Nowadays, people all over the world ---from Europe to the Americas to the Middle East to Asia--- serve wine and cheese at parties for the simple reason that it is easy to put together with a minimum of work. That a wine-and-cheese party is easy to put together does not take away from the fact that people genuinely enjoy drinking wine and eating cheese together. Furthermore, simplicity and elegance usually go together.

It was an opportunity for the professors, teaching assistants and the students to mingle socially...

or meet new friends...

or maybe just hang out with good friends...

to bridge the generational gap...

drink the wine, of course...
