One of the most iconic pairings in the wine world is wine and cheese, but it is also easily one of the most over thought pairings in the world too. Any cheese that does not make a person hold their nose can pair with fairly good results with any wine. More pungent cheeses obviously require something with a little more body, and delicate cheeses can get lost in deep reds but for the most part it is all personal taste.
Cheese and wine pairings will dominate this blog for a couple days because there are so many more things that can be done with wine and cheese other than the set pairings that have already been agreed on by wine experts. First of all is the point that not all cheese and wine combinations have been tried. It is commonly agreed on that brie pairs best with champagne or merlot, but this does not mean that for individuals’ cheese boardstaste buds brie may taste better with an oaked chardonnay. This means that each person can enjoy a different pairing. Arrange three to five cheeses on cheese boards and simply allow friends to find their own pairings.
