A Match Made in Heaven: Wine and Cheese Pairing Guide
May 13th, 2009 § 1 Comment
The Seattle Cheese Festival is happening this weekend and I’m tickled pink. In honor of the occasion I’m posting a wine and cheese pairing guide courtesy of the experts at Goutmet Sleuth for you to use at your next wine tasting party. Serve the cheese on a cheese board or a cutting board with sliced pear and fig jelly, and accompany with thick crackers and crusty bread. Make it easy on your guests by placing the cheese in a row with each cheese’s wine-buddy behind it.
