Wine And Cheese Pairings

Attn oenophiles – wine and cheese pairings? No smarta$$ answers, please.?

I’m having a wine and cheese reception on Friday and want to get others’ perspectives and tastes – I know what I like but I’d like to get outside of my “comfort zone”. What wines and cheeses do you like together? If you were going to answer Franzia boxed Rose and Velveeta, please just move along – that’s just plain wrong.

Oh, and “oenophile” means wine enthusiast.

I agree with the “wine and cheese from the same region” comment. However, something else to consider. Port and dark chocolate.

I prefer the ruby ports (it will say on the bottle, or at least it won’t say tawny) and with dark chocolate (70-80 cocoa) it is the most amazing dance in your mouth.

Parm-Reggiano and Chianti (DOC) always good as is Parm and Montipulciano.

Here’s a good resource I got in my Beverage Survey class:
