Wine and Cheese go together like milk and oreos

Wine Food Pairing with cheese goes together like milk and oreo cookies. Even the experts can't agree when you do wine and cheese pairing. The only thing that they agree on is that it tastes good!

It always comes down to body chemistry and personal taste, but a few guidelines seem to ring true....

Red wines do better with milder cheeses....

Sweet wines work best with a wide range of flavors....

The "stinkier" the cheese, the sweeter the wine should be.....

Always remember that the fat from the cheese sometimes makes the red wines seem tasteless. On the other hand, a Champagne or sparkling wine can cut through the fat and give you a flavorful experience.

Remember to take your cheeses out of the refrigerator a couple hours ahead of time so you can serve them at room tempurature.

White wines should be served chilled and always open up your reds to let them breathe.

It always comes down to the fact that Wine Food Pairing is an adventure.....so practice, practice, practice........and enjoy! CHEERS!

Wine Food Pairing

Practice, practice, practice...
Practice, practice, practice...

I agree, the trying is the best part. I also find that the white mould rinds can make reds taste quite metallic, best just to scoop out the middle. The French has a saying, Sell wine with cheese, buy wine with water.
