My love of cheese knows no bounds!  And summer grilling season is a perfect time to start the meal with a casual appetizer. What could be more effortless than putting together a cheese platter? Find a cheese (or a few cheeses) that you love, break out the crackers or a crusty loaf of bread, and take advantage of the glorious cherries and grapes that are in season right now! Voilà! Beautiful and delicious appetizer, done!

 But the question that arises once you’ve decided on a cheese platter, is “What wine would enhance this particular cheese?” And while it can be challenging to find the perfect wine variety to go with a particular cheese, it is so worth the effort!

As you may know, I’m a member of the Cabot Cheese Board, which means that from time to time, they send me some of their newer varieties to sample. I’d been saving this particular cheese, Garlic and Herb, thinking that I needed to figure out the perfect bottle of wine to go with it, when I learned that Cabot has a new Wine and Cheese Pairing Chart, that helps you choose the perfect grape variety. The chart recommends a Merlot for a Garlic and Herb cheese. Once I knew that, I relied on the recommendation of my friend Denny Jiosa, whose wine palate I trust, to help me pick the perfect bottle of Merlot.

We chose a Napa merlot from 2008, called Bonedance. Delcious!

It was an absolutely perfect pairing. So, I am keeping this chart bookmarked, so that I’ll know where to find it. And then, I got to thinking that my friends who read my blog might enjoy knowing that this information is available. So, here it is! Click the link to see the

We started our search with a cheese we had, and went looking for a wine to go with it. But clearly, if you have a bottle of wine that you know you love, it would be just as easy to start with the wine, and choose a cheese that will enhance your favorite bottle of wine.

Cabot provides me with cheese from time to time, with no expectation that I will blog about it. But when I learn about a good thing, or helpful information, I like to share it with my friends. This would be a great post to pin on Pinterest, so that you know where to go back and look for it!
