Tips for the Perfect Wine and Cheese Pairing

When it comes to pairing wine with cheese, there are a few simple rules to keep in mind. First, consider the type of cheese: creamy brie pairs well with crisp white wines like Sauvignon Blanc, while rich cheddar is better suited to bold reds like Cabernet Sauvignon.

Next, think about the texture and flavor profile of each wine and cheese combination. For example, a dry Riesling pairs perfectly with the sweetness of caramelized onions, while a rich Merlot complements the earthy flavors of mushroom risotto.
