LFS0029 - Wine and Cheese Pairings

Course Description

Wine and cheese are natural partners, but some pairings can be disastrous while others can bring out the subtle beauty of taste in each. The wine pairing is typically the same as the main course, though a bright Riesling or light Beaujolais can also complement the richness of the cheese. The focus is on savoring each cheese's unique flavors and textures, rather than treating it as a snack. 

We will prepare the appropriate pairings with various wines. You will taste a variety of both wine and cheese while developing your understanding of both. You will then be able to create the wine and cheese experiences you seek in a variety of settings.
