Cheese and wino
If you want to impress the neighbours with your good taste in wine, don't bother with the cheese part of the party. All cheeses mask the subtle flavours of red wine, so you might as well break out something cheap if you're going to have it accompanying fromage.The wine expert Malcolm Gluck said the combination of cheese and wine has become such a cliche that many people think any cheese will go well with any red wine: "Cheese and wine isn't as simple as it sounds. You have to be extremely careful because some pairings can be dreadful. One of those amazingly aromatic cheeses from Alsace that smells like the inside of a footballer's boot after a midweek match goes well with a Gewürztraminer. And a really good mature cheddar and one of those frisky, young cabernet sauvignons is a wonderful combination."
