When choosing wines and cheeses for your event, consider offering a variety of options to appeal to different tastes. For wines, a safe bet is to include a red, white, and sparkling option. For cheeses, a good rule of thumb is to have at least one soft, one hard, and one blue cheese. You can also offer a mix of cow, goat, and sheep's milk cheeses for a diverse selection.
To create an eye-catching and functional buffet table, follow these tips from Pampered Chef consultant Julie Christopher: Start with a neutral tablecloth, then add height with tiered serving stands or cake plates. Use a mix of serving platters and boards to display the cheeses and accompaniments. Label each item with a cute chalkboard or card. Finally, add some greenery or flowers for a pop of color.
In addition to the classic pairings of crackers and fruit, you can also offer some unique accompaniments to wow your guests. Some ideas include honeycomb, fig spread, marinated olives, roasted nuts, and charcuterie meats. For a sweet touch, consider offering dark chocolate or chocolate-covered berries.
One idea is to have a wine and cheese pairing game where guests have to guess which wine goes best with which cheese. You can also have a blind taste test where guests have to identify different types of cheese while blindfolded. Another fun option is to have a "create your own crostini" station where guests can choose from different toppings to build their perfect bite.
To ensure your event runs smoothly, be sure to have all the necessary supplies on hand, such as wine glasses, cheese knives, and serving utensils. Make sure to keep the wine chilled and the cheese at room temperature for optimal flavor. Also, don't forget to have plenty of napkins and toothpicks available for your guests. And most importantly, have fun and enjoy the delicious pairings with your guests!
