Upon arrival, I was greeted with a plate of cheese and three wines (a white, red, and
dessert). Laura walked us through each cheese and wine pairing while giving the
rundown on what we were tasting. She also provided some interesting cheese tips. To
see her tips for pairing wines and cheese and to learn more about cheese in general,
read more.
When pairing wines with cheese, taste the wine first. The flavor of the cheese affects the
wine's flavor more than the wine affects the cheese.
How Long Will It Last?
What's in Season:
Artichokes
Cheese kills off the fruit
flavors in wine and brings
out the tannins making it
harder to perfectly pair red
wines with cheeses.
Candied walnuts are served
with cheese and red wines
because they help bridge
the gap between the
cheese and the tannins in
red wine.
Blue cheese is especially
difficult to pair with red
wine. Instead match a
good blue cheese with a

good blue cheese with a
dessert wine.
The crystals in aged cheeses are called tyrosine. They're the deposits left behind as
protein breaks down.
When cheese is left out for a while the butter fat separates from the cheese causing the
cheese to appear as if it were sweating.
Different types of cows make different kinds of cheese. Sometimes one can taste the
different grasses in the cheeses as well.
Raw milk cheese is cheese made with unpasteurized milk. They are legal in the US, but
only if they have been aged for 60 days or more. This includes imported cheese.

i always love to go to wine and cheese seminars, but to be
honest, i never buy things that match up. it's great to learn
about it, but i typically stick to my 'fail safes'

Somehow my parents have designated me as the wine /
cheese guy in the family and turn to me for advice on
setting up a cheese plate. I don't know where they got that
idea - I'm pretty terrible at it. I'd love to go to such seminars
to learn more.

When I had a little wine/cheese tasting in France I just
picked out some random stuff and it tasted fine! I'm all
about the experimentation, but if I had more time I'd like to
research and try a proper wine/cheese tasting.
