aalbert said:The Brie would go nice with wine. Also the mediterranean cheese spread would be nice. Light and creamy cheese goes best with a white wine Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or sparkling wine (champagne) and more full flavored cheese (cheddar, Pecorino Romano, Asiago, etc...) and blue cheese go best with darker wines like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah etc...
The lighter the wine, usually the sweeter it is.
You could also do some sort of fondue and have breads, and veggies to dip in the fondue. A fruit like grapes goes well with wine and cheese.
You really could do a fruit display, using the core & more to make melon balls, or stem strawberries....use the v-shaped cutter to create a bowl of sorts out of a cantalope to put the fruit in.
aalbert said:Paula, those are GREAT ideas! All sound like a great show to me! I would love to hear how it turns out! This has sparked an idea for me to do a "wine and cheese" show too!

kcmckay said:Wow what a great idea, I'm totally adding this to my theme show options. I think you could offer it 2 ways too. You could offer it as a non demo show and just have some ready made cheese etc and fruit but still show products. Maybe just demo things like wedgers and cheese knife. Or do a demo with it with some of other stuff. I'd probably ask host to supply wine though(pricey) I might just have to send an email about my new them show option and try to get some more shows that way!! Maybe offer first 2 to book for me to bring 1 bottle of wine!! Although I should probably get the wine opener, glasses and pourer before I commit to this type!! Maybe I'll offer the show and order them if I get enough or just borrow from my director or someone else. I'll have to brainstorm this one. I would definitely at least bring a brie if not demo one for this. Oh i don't have cheese knife either! Wow that's crazy since a wine and cheese show would be something i would book!! LOL
I would return this one. I just had a customer complain of the same thing, and they exchanged, no questions asked. That's why I bought it too! I have two (though, one has vanished) and want more! I had a customer ask if it will work as an oil pourer because she makes her own flavored oils and vinegars to give as gifts. I tried it out today on an oil bottle, and it worked wonderfully.ChefPaulaB said:If you like Wine I would totally say you should get the opener and the glasses and the pourer! I love them!!!! I am not loving the pourer quite as much as I used to because the last time I used it my wine leaked in the fridge when layed on it's side and that's always my big selling point to people, so if it's not true I don't want to tell people that, but other than that, love it all! I think the glasses are just beautiful... I have quite a few different wine glasses and these have become my new favorite! I'd like a second set... that's a good idea to have a wine & cheese show to get it! Might have to do that! And the cheese knife would be a good demo tool for a wine and cheese!
Thanks... I didn't even think about returning it, just assumed that they just didn't work that well! I am getting ready to do an adjustment on my can opener too (have to go around the can about 4 times to get it to work) so I'll do them at the same time. Thank you again!janezapchef said:I would return this one. I just had a customer complain of the same thing, and they exchanged, no questions asked. That's why I bought it too!

I have one coming up next month that I plan to make the grilled chicken al fresco to go with the wine. I think it will pair nicely! Oh, and I also love the bread dipping idea -- will probably steal that one too!Somewhere in the files there is a nice invite I have used (didn't create of course though).
