HOW T O PAIR CHEESE A N D WINE L IKE A PRO. BY PETER TAMBLYN @ SENSE OF TASTE, PORTSIDE WHARF, HAMILTON.
Cheese and wine are among the most decadent and delicious flavour combinations.
For soft, delicate and creamy cheeses, such as the Le Cremeux de Bourgogne, sip on bubbles.
Sense of Taste Portside store manager and sommelier Peter Tamblyn shares his insightful tips on how to perfectly match the two.
“Something French will never disappoint but you could even choose a light-bodied red like a Beaujolais or a Pinot Noir,” he said.
For cheeses with sharp, rich flavours, such as the Gouda Millennium 1000 Days, Peter recommends either beer or wine.
Peter has sourced the best drops across all wine styles – and budgets – to accompany your cheese board.
“This cheese is crumbly, super tasty and has you coming back for more. It goes great with beer, but you could easily pair it with a textured Chablis or even a Pinot Gris,” he said.
