Judy’s Wine and Cheese

Don’t you just love nibbling different cheeses and sipping wine?  We had a chance to talk with author Judy Gilliard to help us uncover some favorite wine and cheese match-ups.

“Well, that’s my favorite – a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, and some cheese, and thou – and what is really nice about wine and cheese is that you can make it romantic by having a picnic or sitting by the fireplace or you can have a large group of friends with several areas that you can have your guests mingle while they’re trying different marriages of cheese and wines,

Here are a few of my favorite wine and cheese pairings:  A blue cheese like a good maytag or gorgonzola with a tawny port or sherry.  A boursin with gewurtztraminer, brie or goat cheese with champagne, gruyere with chardonnay, a sharp cheddar with a good Bordeaux or cabernet, gouda with sauvignon blanc, fresh mozzarella or feta with Beaujolais.

Again, whatever the event is, a good wine and cheese pairing always makes it better.

Thanks, Judy!
