Make A Cheese Platter

May 19, 2011 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

Having some guests over and wanting to serve some wine with a cheese platter is actually a bit of a task.  A typical cheese platter has a combination of cheeses, fruit and crackers on it and all are supposed to pair with the wines being served.  But this is a great undertaking for something that is thought of as an appetizer or mere edible decoration. Make things simpler by picking between three to five cheeses that, rather than pairing with the wine being served, span the spectrum of cheeses.  This means having a slightly soft cheese, a smoky cheese, a hard cheese, and maybe a blue cheese. Fruit is a great way to add some healthier bits to a cheese platter to appeal to people who are watching their diet or do not like cheese as much as others.  These fruits don’t have to be anything in particular as long as they are fresh and delicious.  The crackers served with the cheese are even less of a concern than the fruit because just providing a couple of varieties will please everyone, they won’t eat a cracker that they usually don’t like the taste of.
                Of course this is just a very rough guide to cheese boards and the other wine accessories that are involved in serving guests wine, but it is still the frame work of a good social event.
