Yay! Thank you for this! I take my WSET level 1 today- and the food pairing is what I find trickiest. I’ve had to throw out older ideas and it’s been eye opening! I knew red wine and blue cheese just didn’t go together, no matter how badly I wanted them to. Luckily, champagne pairs well with an awful lot, and makes for an easy, fun apero.

Fun and helpful read!

Great read on the wine and cheese pairing. I live in a rural community in Northumberland County (east of the GTA) - and access to some of these cheeses is tricky. But I will definitely refer to this when planning my next cheese board. Now I just have to get my full bodied, red wine loving husband to get on board with the whites!

Well, Lori, you can lead a man to white, but you can’t make him drink. 😂

It’s honestly fine. While certainly for *pairing* purposes there’s optimal matches, but if one is steadfast to a certain brand or style, I’d rather they just drink what they like and have a good time, rather than be forced into something they don’t and no one has fun. 🤷🏼‍♀️
