Wine with food cheese
Which wine goes with cheese?
Aged hard cheese suits a red with ripe fruit: the salt and umami soften the wine. Young, fresh cheese — goat cheese, fresh cheese — wants a crisp white instead. And with blue or very salty cheese, a sweet or fortified wine such as Port is the classic.
