PAIRING 101
When pairing cheese with alcohol,
whether wine, beer, or spirit, it helps
to think of either complementary or
contrasting flavors. Typically, the
more pungent the cheese, the more
of a full character you want your
wine, beer, or spirit to be.
Some cheese show their best qualities
when the pairing is very different,
while others stand out when paired
with a complementary flavor. I’ll
leave it to you to explore!
You are now ready to put all this
information to good use. Vegan
