Wine And Cheese Party
i want to hold a wine and cheese party?? any ideas as to how to go about it??
i would like to get a group of couples together and hold a wine and cheese party i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to go about doing this or some of the cheese or other types of food i can include i had heard somewhere that someone can come and talk about the different wines etc any suggestions would help as far as decorations or how many couples to invite themes etc thank you.
also does anyone have an idea how much it might cost??
I would get guidance from a wine shop, or maybe the wine/cheese counter at Whole Foods Market. Let them help you pair cheeses w/ wines. You’ll want to have at least one red, one white, no more than one rose, and maybe a dessert wine.
When tasting, you don’t serve complete glasses-ful. (If you do, it will break your heart when your guests dislike it and pour it down the drain!) Let your guests go back for more if they like the first sip or two. You may also have a descripton of each wine, and see if your guests can taste the flavors the wine is supposed to have: chocolate, pepper, cherry, oak, smoke, whatever.
As for cheeses, I’d have a soft cheese, like camembert or brie, a hard ceese like parmesan or romano, a couple med-hard cheeses like Muesnter, Gouda, Provolone, Swiss, Cheddar, whatever…and a blue of some sort (gorgonzola, stilton, maytag, etc.)
Ask your wine shop for a little thingy you pop into your bottle of wine… it keeps you from overfilling the glasses, and also aerates the wine as it’s poured. It sorta dribbles the wine, but in a neat way.
8-10 people can taste off of 1 bottle of each kind of wine.
Dont’ forget some classic fruits to go w/ your cheeses: champagne grapes (cute, baby grapes!), pears, apples, maybe soem toasted walnuts, dried apricots, crostini (make your own), and/or fresh, soft French or sourdough bread.
HAVE FUN! Sounds like a blast to me!
