There’s just something about wine, cheese and charcuterie boards that make me insanely happy. If charcuterie and cheese are on a restaurant menu I HAVE to order it. I’ve also started creating my own at home and I like finding the perfect wine to pair with the selection of meats and cheeses. I’m far from a wine connoisseur, but I know a good wine when I taste one and the below pairings are a must try. I’ve put together two combinations of food pairings to go with the Enigma Chardonnay and the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Check out my food pairing recommendations below! 

The Cabernet Sauvignon includes flavours of blackberry and black cherry with hints of brown spice, vanilla and espresso, which pairs well with cranberry based cheeses, berries and purple grapes. It also goes really well with bold meat dishes, sharp cheddar cheese and of course a nice steak.  

The Chardonnay features rich flavours of baked apple and pear, with hints of toasted oak, caramel and brown spice. It pairs well with apples, green grapes and almonds. It also pairs beautifully with seafood or chicken. 

Elements to creating the perfect cheese board:

– A variety to cheeses

– A selection of meats

– Nuts

– Bread & crackers

– Fruit or fruit spreads/jams

– Beautiful flowers

– A pretty cheese board or cutting board

– Grapes

– A touch of greenery

– The perfect wine
