Wine and cheese lovers, rejoice! It's National Wine and Cheese Day today! If you're a fan of this classic pairing, then it's time to celebrate and have a "gouda" day. Some say wine puns are in "pour" taste but we beg to differ. See what we did there? *wink*
Since winemaking and cheesemaking have grown together for hundreds of years, it's not a surprise that these two are considered a perfect pair. The history of the two are riddled with discoveries and legend, often of diverging paths, but the wonderful fusion of flavors is undeniable, so much so that the two are often served together. There may be nuances to their taste - one is rich and sharp while the taste of cheese is often complex - but nobody can deny they're better together.
If you're looking for a perfect complement to a night of entertaining with friends, then check out the Normandy Cheese/Wine Charcuterie Set. Made of acacia wood, this serving block has a slate cutting top and swivels open to reveal tools such as a knife and bottle opener. Top it off with an engraved special message, and this can be a memorable gift for all. Call us for more info!
