Follow the "Rule of Three...when entertaining with cheese..."
In addition to it’s relaxed attitude, world class wineries, and sunny beaches…California is know for it’s “cheese” (Or at least that’s what the California Dairy Counsel has been promoting for years!)…
…and if you like cheese, California offers some of the best cheese varieties available. From Harley Farm’s Goat Cheese to Point Reyes Blue – and numerous cheese makers in between one can truly indulge in style here in California.
If you enjoy simple, casual entertaining hosting a wine and cheese pairing party could be the perfect theme for your next event. An added bonus is that both wine and cheese tout health benefits when consumed in moderation – good tasting and good for you…now that’s good living!
I like to keep things simple and elegant – and over the years of hosting CA Living I have featured my share of entertaining ideas along these lines. One of the greatest casual entertaining concepts going is hosting a “Wine & Cheese Tasting Party.” With a little planning and the tips in the video clip below, you and your guests will have a great time exploring the gastronomical pleasures and sensual delights a party centered around pairing wine & cheese offers. While there are practically endless combinations when pairing wine and cheese – it’s been said that greatest food & wine pairings are created when you pair foods and wines which have been derived from the same region. Consider this concept your fool proof recipe for success when creating the menu for your next soiree. For example, a fresh goat cheese from Sonoma County will pair beautifully with a crisp Sonoma white – as will a bold Italian red go exceedingly well with a wedge of Pecorino Romano. For the INSIDE LOOK at the “must have” ingredients needed to host the perfect “Wine & Cheese Tasting Event” – check out the CA Living show video clip below – and as always…ENJOY! Aprilanne
