Pairing wine and cheese can be challenging, but here are a few simple steps you can take to get the best out of both, with insights from Melbourne Cheese Consultant Laura Lown @lauralowncheesemonger. 🍷🧀⁠ ⁠ For cabernet, "the best cheeses to pair with bigger, heartier red wines are bigger, bolder cheeses" such as aged goudas, says Laura, and "more delicate flavoured styles" such as famous French style Ossau Iraty, Compte or even brie with pinot noir.⁠ ⁠ For white wines, something rich and buttery pairs well with chardonnay, and "the acidity of fresh goat's cheeses like Meredith Farm Chevre balances [sauvignon blanc] nicely." Rosé's many styles make pairing a little trickier, but your safest bet is "clean, salty cheeses, such as feta."⁠ ⁠ You can learn all about food and wine pairings as part of our online Introduction to Wine course.
