Join Sommelier Cameron Philip of Bye Bye Crybaby

The team at Bye Bye Crybaby invite you to an intimate evening of wine and cheese that’ll transport you to the Alpine slopes of Jura and Savoie. Sommelier Cameron Philip will guide guests through a tasting of wines from these storied French regions, each paired with a thoughtfully selected cheese that complements their mountain terroir. From oxidative whites to crunchy reds to delicate sparkling wines, this session will explore the alpine traditions, native varieties, and unorthodox beauty that define Jura and Savoie—and inspire Cameron’s new wine and cocktail bar, Alpine Arc. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply cheese-curious, come ready to discover the surprising harmonies of texture, acidity, and funk.
