Cheese and wine

[baconsarney]

I love cheese and I love wine… I have many fave combos… sitting here watching bake off with a Malbec and an extra mature cheddar at the mo….

What’s your fave?

[blingybongy]

Dairylea or if I'm feeling sophisticated Laughing Cow and a glass of Carling.

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

Baked Camenbert and warm crusty bread for dipping.

No need for a flex that strong.

Epoisses de Bourgogne and Passetoutgrains.

Castillo spready blue on digestive biscuits w summer fruit squash.

But to stop derailing, you are right. Cheese and biscuits is ace, I have it every night. Usually with a hot chocolate to be fair but red wine is also brill.

I love a good port and Stilton, assuming no has nosed the Stilton before I’ve gotten to it.

[baconsarney]

Bang on with the port and biscuits, my fave cheese with this is properly ripe dolce latte

I love wine and cheese. Too much. My BP and Cholesterol means I'm on restricted duties where these two are concerned for the time being.

Favourite is a nice strong French red. Bordeaux or Chateau Nerf du Pape. Absolutely sacrilegious paring with a whipcracking English cheddar.

[Lotobear]

Tallegio, on a cracker, with a glass of Amarone...mmmm

[Nico Adie]

Roquefort and a good Languedoc red

[lauda]

Something blue and salty with a glass of chilled, sweet wine.

Just use it's French name and, as with all dishes, it is 100% more classy.

Don't forget white wine and cheese as a pairing

Goaty cheese (slightly ammoniacal and herby) and sauvignon blanc. Sancerre, or other Loire SB I really like - for me probably tops any red wine and cheese combo. Definitely for a warm summer's day not a February evening though

Mountain cheeses and local Jura or Savoie whites can be great. Super oily old school Aussie and California chardonnays can do this too also good with cheddar

Off dry things like chenin blanc (eg. Vouvray) can be useful with a variety of cheeses. Chenin blanc is super versatile and can be anything from light and crisp apply wine to glutinous sweet age worthy wines

Sweet whites with a bit of balancing acidity can be awesome with blue cheese

I think white wines suit the celery grapes and nut thing better than reds too

Can't pronounce it.
