Cheese and wine
Discussion
Don't forget white wine and cheese as a pairing
Goaty cheese (slightly ammoniacal and herby) and sauvignon blanc. Sancerre, or other Loire SB I really like - for me probably tops any red wine and cheese combo. Definitely for a warm summer's day not a February evening though
Mountain cheeses and local Jura or Savoie whites can be great. Super oily old school Aussie and California chardonnays can do this too also good with cheddar
Off dry things like chenin blanc (eg. Vouvray) can be useful with a variety of cheeses. Chenin blanc is super versatile and can be anything from light and crisp apply wine to glutinous sweet age worthy wines
Sweet whites with a bit of balancing acidity can be awesome with blue cheese
I think white wines suit the celery grapes and nut thing better than reds too
