Best Pairings Of Cheese And Crackers With Wine

Few things go together better than cheese, crackers, and wine. There can be no doubt. But when it comes to specific pairings of cheese and crackers with wine, how do you know what goes with what? Sure, if you're eating red meat, red wine goes well with that. With white meat like chicken and fish, white wine will probably be your choice.
But if you're looking for appetizers or just a light snack to offer your guests for a quick visit, what goes well together?

Pairings Suggested By Those in the Know

You only have to Google "Best Pairings of Cheese and Crackers with Wine" to be presented with numerous selections that go well together. Here are some examples…

• With a glass of Merlot, Pinot Noir, or Cabaret, snack on shortbread crackers, figs, pecans, and blue cheese.
• With prosciutto, combine Asiago Tarragon and Malbec or Sauvignon Blanc.
• To Beaujolais or Riesling, add a flavorful punch with cayenne or cheddar.

For the following, your choice of cracker is literally limitless. Be careful if you choose something with herbs or flavoring, however, so that it won't interfere with the flavors you will already be experiencing.

Hard Cheese with Wine

Hard cheeses can consist of Manchego, Parmigiano Reggiano, Comte’, and cheddar. With wine, they're the easiest cheese types to pair. When it comes to wine, the easiest pairing would probably be with a rioja or Cabernet Sauvignon – a red, medium-bodied wine. Don't pass up an opportunity, however, to combine Chardonnay and cheddar.

Soft Cheese with Wine

Soft cheeses range from white rinded, semi-soft cheeses like camambert and brie to cream cheese. A Beaujolais or Pinot Noir – something red and fruity – go nicely here. However, with this style of cheese, don't hesitate to try out a rose’.

Blue Cheese and Wine

Blue cheeses include Gorgonzola, Roquefort and Stilton. Sweet pairings of wine tend to work well here. Examples: Stilton and port or Roquefort and Sauternes. If you want to shake things up a bit, consider sweet sherry or sloe gin. Something that also works well together are blue cheese and stout.
But wait… what if you don't want to go through all the work of googling and assembling?
