Has anyone ever thrown a wine and cheese party? And how did it go?

Question

Is it really just different kinds of wine and cheese?

Answer 1

I threw one for a couples engagement get-together & it was a HUGE hit!! Easy to do, just pick out 3 - 5 different wines & an assortment of cheeses and crackers to go with it.....All my friends keep asking me to host another one!!

Answer 2

well sort of , serve a variety of cheese , breads and crackers. often at cheese tastings they will Serve a sorbet( like a fruity ice) and often garnish with grapes and strawberries to cleanse the palette, as some cheeses are very ripe. If you serve on small trays at different times always start will least flavorful and work your way up to strongest. Have fun and enjoy. Remember always start party after a meal time and specify cheese and wine so your geusts don't arrive hungry for a meal. I feel people love to wine and cheese.

Answer 3

Go to a good wine store, get some recommendations on what goes good with different cheeses. If I were throwing this party, I'd also get a variety of fruit and high quality, thinly sliced meats such as prosciutto and salami.

Answer 4

You need to get one type of good red wine...it's usually what goes good with cheese...but if you know some of guests prefer white wine you should get some.
You should get French cheese : brie or camembert, Chevre (french goat cheese), Roquefort (blue cheese), gruyere, rambole aux herbes...etc
you can have a plate of cold cuts too if you like: ham, salami, smoked turquey, smoked salmon...
If you have a fondue machine or raqulette machine, use them.
Get French baguette bread and cut them into thick slices.
