Great Crackers For Cheese And Wine
Medium-Bodied WinesServe Asiago cheese with medium-bodied white wines such as Riesling and Chardonnay. Asiago also works with lighter red wines such as Pinot Noir and Syrah. Chardonnay is a good partner for cheeses such as mild cheddar, Gruyere and provolone.
Havarti and muenster are best served with wines such as Gewurztraminer or Riesling. Choose crackers and breads with a little complexity, such as whole grain versions or those with white sesame seeds. Full-Bodied WinesParmigiano-Reggiano and other cheeses like it, such as Grana Padano and Pecorino, have strong flavors that pair well with full-bodied red wines that won't be overwhelmed by them.
Try Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon or Barolo. Pair aged Gouda, Jarlsberg and Edam with these wines as well. Match nearly any bread or cracker with these wines, including those with strong rye or caraway flavors. Sparkling WinesThe creaminess of brie matches well with the acidity of Champagne and other sparkling wines. Because brie is mild, it won't interfere with the flavors of even sweeter wines. Accompany the cheese with buttery crackers or soft baguette so the wine remains the star of the match-up. Dessert WinesChoose blue cheeses, such as Cambazola, Stilton, Roquefort or Gorgonzola, to bring out the sweetness of dessert wines such as ice wine and Sauternes.
Sweeter Rieslings pair well with these cheeses as well. Plain unsalted crackers and breads match well with blue cheese and sweeter wines since there is no saltiness to interfere with the sweetness of the wines.
