Best Cheese & Wine Pairing

Best Cheese & Wine Pairing
By Gayot Editors

Wine and cheese pair very well together.

While there are certainly no rules to uphold, matching wine and cheese carefully can bring out the best flavors in both.

Harder types of cheese

.Such as Pecorino can stand up to a wine with a lot of tannins, like a Cabernet Sauvignon.

Creamy cheeses

Like Brie, pair better with wines that have crisp, fruit flavors.

Salty cheeses

Go best with a sweet wine partner like Muscat.
