A small goat\u2019s milk cheese paired with an effervescent wine or craft beer can\u2019t be beat. Avoid blues and washed-rind cheeses, as they might overwhelm the palate before the meal.<\/p>\n<p>For each guest, allow approximately 1&frac14; ounces of cheese; if you have 15 guests, ask your cheesemonger for two cheeses each&mdash;about two-thirds of a pound. For larger groups, set out two or three whole cheeses with a few knives and some sliced bread. Never precut your cheese! This will dry it out&mdash;and it takes up precious time that you could have used to clean up the living room. Easy does it.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Putting together a cheese plate can be daunting\u2014Cheesemonger Jason Sobosinski helps find cheeses that go well
