Name Your Favorite Wine & Cheese!

[Deleted User]

So H and I are going to a wine & cheese couples party this weekend. We've been asked to bring a bottle of wine or a cheese. Of course I want to bring both! Wondering if you ladies have any awesome recommendations? Do you have a favorite bottle of wine? Do you have a cheese you just can't pass up? I'd love to get some fun new ideas and try something different. Here are two H & I love and may bring:

Cheese: BellaVitano Espresso (we get it at King Soopers, also think Costco has it)

Wine: 2010 Chambourcin Reserve from Port of Leonardtown Winery (we got this on our last trip to Maryland)

I'm not much for fancy cheese, but my favorite wine is Primo Amore moscato.

Blue & White

I would bring cheese.  I think monterey jack, muenster, swiss, cheddar (mild), mozzarella, colby jack, etc. are amazing.  Because I like cheese too much I can't swing for fancy cheese because I will go broke.  The fruit and cheese tray at our wedding was like heaven to me.

As for wine, I like cabernet sauvignon   I'm easy to please.

My favorite cheese Wensleydale cheese with cranberries.


My favorite wine is a soft red wine from a local winery where we live.  Anything red and sweet is good with me.

I don't play favorites when it comes to cheese.

For wine, I like malbec or sauvignon blanc. I can't do anything sweet.

Cheese: FI LOVES a really old Gouda...think aged for 5 years. It gets all crystalized near the rind and has a really nutty flavor.

Wine: One of my go-tos lately has been a Malbec by Layer Cake. I also love red blends and petit syrah. One stand out for me was Stag's Leap Petit Syrah.

I love a good brie with a fresh fruit compote, or a baked brie in a pastry puff. And Manchego...mmmmm or an irish cheddar with the little crunchy crystals. I love all cheese just about. I'm weirded out by blue cheese though. It's a little too 'stinky feet' for me. 

As far as wine goes, a good Malbec is what does it for me.

The last time I went to a party like that there was a baked brie with a raspberry chipotle sauce...YUM

I also like a semi hard with pretty much anything in it (rosemary, coffee, cranberries, etc)

As for wine I am a red girl.  I love a Barbera, a spicy Primitivo or a big bold old vine Zinfandel.

If you have a Whole Foods near you, you really can't go wrong!

Um... does Velveeta count? :-P

I'm not big on cheese, so yeah, no real preference there. I've been lactose intolerant-ish for a while, so I stay away from a lot of cheese.

I love all wine. For realz. I don't discriminate at all.

Cheese: Just about anything. We just did a at-home date night and tried some new cheeses. I fell in love with Mont Amore.

Wine: Sun-kissed by Hermes Vineyard in Ohio, I'm also a sucker for a good Riesling. Malbec is my my fave red wine.
