Wine & Cheese Pairing Basics
Strive to have flavors either contrast or complement: Contrast strong blue cheese with sweet port, for example or complement creamy, buttery Chardonnay with creamy, rich Brie.
Hard, mild cheeses pair well with most white wines and light reds.
For example: Asiago Cheese / Chambourcin
Hard, mature-flavored cheeses pair nicely with fuller white wines and light reds.
For example: Sharp Cheddar / Traminette
Soft, mild cheese makes an appealing partner with full whites, light and medium reds or fortified wine.
For example: Muenster / Dry Riesling
Blue cheeses pair well with sweet white wines, full-bodied reds and fortified wine.
For example: Blue Cheese / Vignoles Light Port
The most important thing to remember when pairing wines and cheeses is to follow your taste buds. If you like something that rules say shouldn't work, STICK WITH IT!
