Cocktails, Wine, Beer & Cheese

The easy part of entertaining with a cheese is all of the fun things that can go with it. Don’t stress on having everything perfect with the pairings, keep it simple and let the cheese do most of the work. I don’t add a lot of fruits or jams with the pairings, I like to let the cheese shine! Too many things can take away from the wonderful flavors of the cheeses.

Here’s five cheese boards that are simple and paired up with wine, cocktails and beer. Here’s the segment from CBS Great Day Live on these five boards. Here’s the link, it will play right after the commercial.
