Cheese and Wine,
Wine and Cheese

Noted food writer Sam Aaron (1911 – 1996) let loose a slew of his well researched thoughts on the matter of how well cheese and wine complement one another and provided us with a helpful list of which type of wines harmonize best with certain cheeses:

“With Italian cheeses, such as Taleggio Cheese
or Provolone, I like a delicate red wine made near Verona called Bardolino. Frank Schoonmaker
(1905 – 1976) imports a 1952 vintage from Count Campostrini. You will find it delightfully fruity and soft.”

“Andre Simon, the great international food authority, suggests a bitter ale with the harder cheeses from England, Cheshire, cheddar or Wensleydale. This is a delicious combination, but to my taste these cheeses call for a good solid red wine, such as a fine St Emilion. Try the recent discovery from that region, Chateau la Gaffeliere Naudes 1953. It is one of the most interesting Bordeaux of that year.”
