Wine and cheese belong together; just like chocolate and peanut butter or Ross and Rachel. However, not everyone is ready to make a trip to the local artisan cheese shop and take on a plethora of flavors, textures and aromas to create an intricate wine and cheese spread.
Sometimes you just want to slice a few blocks of cheese, throw them on a serving tray and enjoy with friends. These easy wine and cheese pairings will let you entertain guests at the drop of a hat with the basic cheeses found in your fridge or at any grocery store.
