Wine & Cheese

Our Wine & Cheese tasting has become so popular that we are now running a second tasting.
"The idea that wine and cheese are perfect companions is, I'm afraid, one of the great myths, perpetuated perhaps by the two most feted and triumphant partnerships - port and Stilton and Roquefort and Sauternes. Generally speaking, cheese is one of the trickiest foods to choose wine for. But is it any wonder? Cheese is frequently strong and pungently flavoured; it is often high in fat; it may be high in acid; it is often very salty; and it can have a gluey, mouth-coating texture. Some cheeses even manage to combine all these wine - and taste bud  - challenging features
- and the whole subject is made more complicated by the fact that cheeses vary as much from producer to producer and according to maturity as do wines." Joanna Simon.

Please join The Wine Cellar and Paddy's Cheese Market for our 4th annual wine and cheese tasting. We will once again review some of the challenges facing wine and cheese pairings and some of the "rules" to go by when deciding on a match.
