Wine With Cheese<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/h2>\n

When it comes to summer wines, most people look for something light, chilled, and refreshing to help beat the heat. So sparkling wines, white wines, and ros\u00e9 are all no-brainers. But don\u2019t overlook reds (especially <\/span>ones that can be chilled<\/span><\/a>) to enjoy with the right wedges, too. Get the details behind which flavors match best <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sparkling Wine<\/span><\/i><\/a> + Triple creams<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Riesling<\/span><\/i><\/a> + Washed-Rind Cheeses<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Petit Sirah<\/span><\/i><\/a> + Clothbound Cheddar<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beer With Cheese<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nothing hits quite like a cold and crisp beer on a warm summer afternoon. And when it comes to beer options, there really is <\/span>something for everyone<\/span><\/a>: wheat beers for those who like to keep it light, IPAs for those who seek out bold flavors, even sour and fruity options for anyone who might be on the fence about beer in general. Don\u2019t be afraid to experiment to find your ultimate brewed match.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gose<\/span><\/i><\/a> + Burrata<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Saison<\/span><\/i><\/a> + Taleggio<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Okay, so maybe you (or your guests) still aren\u2019t on board with the taste of beer\u2014even the fruity ones. That\u2019s when you can turn to the ever-reliable and crowd-pleasing cans of ciders and seltzers to crack into instead. Hard ciders and flavored seltzers have been gaining intense popularity in past years, and there are more options popping up on shelves every day. Take your pick and pour one out beside your next cheese board.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate-flavored hard seltzer<\/span><\/i><\/a> + Manchego<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
