When it comes to wine pairing, it’s hard to go wrong with a glass of wine in one hand and cheese in the other, however, there are some basic guidelines you can follow to keep the flavor profiles balanced for an optimal tasting experience.
• Sharp cheese or aged cheese—six months or older—are best served with full-bodied wine to compliment the bold flavors. Soft cheese pairs well with sparkling wine or white wine that’s light on oak flavor, such as Chardonnay.
• Pro-tip: There’s no need to overanalyze. Everyone has their own taste preferences, so offer at least one white wine and one red wine and let your guests decide.
