Why is wine and cheese is the perfect pairing? It's because when you snack on a piece of cheese, the high fat content can coat your tongue, making it hard to taste anything you eat or drink later. Having a few sips of wine in between can help cut through this. The acidity of the wine slices right through that creamy barrier. And if there's a little thought put into which cheeses and wines to pair, it can be a really delightful experience.
And you can give that experience to a loved one with a wine and cheese gift basket. These creative baskets are super customizable, so you get the perfect cheese for a bold red or a dry white—not to mention a crisp rosé.
