What goes better with the holidays than a wine + cheese break in the afternoon?
Well, no wine for me, BUT we did some damage to this plate of cheese and snacks last week, and I can’t wait to make another.
Wine and cheese hour is something that is still new in our family, but I’m all for embracing the tradition! I love that while having wine and cheese feels fancy, it doesn’t need to take a lot of time OR be complicated.
So when Le Creuset offered up some of their new Wine and Cheese collection to try out, I knew it would be perfect for the holiday season with family and friends.
The round platter with the cutting board is my new favorite piece! I actually have it sitting in the center of dining room table as I type this, just waiting to be filled up again with cheese and snacks. It’s a great set up – cheese in the center, everything else around it, all in one place. Plus, the cutting board is super smooth and easy to clean.
Since it’s winter, I decided on some fresh citrus (clementines) plus some dried apricots, almonds, and two kinds of crackers to have with our cheese assortment last week. We had a few wines to choose from, plus sparkling water for me.
I have a feeling that these pieces will be traveling with me all over the place now – to gatherings with friends and family, potlucks, or just moving it around in our house so we have the perfect snack set up with our cocktails any time we’re ready!

I would choose White or Red.
I love Beechers cheeses and Chateau Morrisette wines, so I’d pair Beechers Oregonzola with CM Heritage Port or Beechers Flagship cheese with CM Chambourcin Reserve. I like both Le Creuset and BranAppetit on Facebook. I’m an orange lover, so Flame would be my top pick. (I don’t have a Twitter account).
Wine and cheese is an awesome pairing, but a baby and cheese is much better! ;)
I love Trader Joe’s Toscano Syrah cheese paired with almost any red wine.
I liked Le Creuset on Facebook.
I liked Bran Appetit on Facebook.
I’d choose the cherry red or the cassis.
In my opinion, the perfect pairing is wine soaked toscano with a nice syrah. Or maybe manchego with a pinot noir. Or maybe iberico with a petite syrah. Oh the decisions!
I love dark red wine with gouda cheese on wheat crackers.
I love sweet red wines with goat cheese
Wine and cheese are two of my favorite things! I’d chose goat cheese and sauvignon blanc! Thanks for the opportunity.
Port with brie and apples
Riesling and Gruyere, a match made in heaven.
I don’t drink wine but I do love cheese and I do love drinking it w grape juice (like a kid).
I like chianti and parmesan.

I have zero expertise in the area of pairing cheese & wine. I would probably go with a sharper cheese and Shiraz. I’m not into the “stinky” cheeses at all.

I like the set in Cassis.
I have no clue how to pair cheese with wine. I really love all cheeses and all wines :) I would have to say I love brie and pinot noir!
