Le Tastevin – Cheese Pairings with the Wines
Cheeseparing - noun 1 : something worthless or insignificant 2 : miserly economizing. "My wants were few, and I had no more desire for personal spending than had Ambrose, in his time, but this cheeseparing on the part of my godfather induced in me a sort of fury that made me determined to have my way and use the money that was mine." — From Daphne du Maurier's 1951 novel My Cousin Rachel
There is nothing worthless or miserly about pairing cheese with wine. Turophile's rejoice: below is a list of the cheeses that were paired with winetastings. Wine pairing is an art with a good deal of experience and science behind it. Our previous man of bread and cheese - Dr. Gartner - formed the foundation for our club in selecting excellent complimentary cheeses with our wines.
