Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese Pairings with Wine and Beer Wine Wine and cheese combinations are purely a personal decision. That said, there are some that are naturally pleasing to the vast majority of consumers. The suggestions below are just a guideline – be sure to keep an open mind and find out what is best suited to your own palate. Wine Pairing Pointers White wines match best with soft cheeses and stronger flavors. Red wines match best with harder cheeses and milder flavors. Fruity sweet white wines (not dry) and dessert wines work best with a wider range of cheeses. The more pungent the cheese, the sweeter the wine should be. Beer Some say that beer is the natural pair to cheese. It is said that beer nurtures the flavors of the cheese in the mouth, thus producing quite an interesting array of remarkable combinations. Although you’ll find many happy matches that break the following rules, these quidelines are a good starting point for thinking about beer with cheese. Beer Pairing Pointers Beer Pairing Pointers Pair delicate beers with young, fresh cheeses. Pair malty beers with nutty, aged cheeses. Pair highly hopped, bitter beers with tart, sharp cheeses, especially cheddars. Pair strong, sweet beers with blue cheeses. Whichever you prefer, wine or beer, we have tried to select the best combinations of both to compliment Kenny’s cheese.
