One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to bring together friends and family this holiday season is by hosting a wine and cheese party. Well any food and wine pairing would make a good party! Don’t worry if you haven’t any prior experience buying either, we’ve provided some quick tips below to get you started.
The proper serverware will make set up for your party so much easier. Wine servers, champagne flutes, cheese and fruit servers, combination wine and cheese servers and plate servers can be placed on a buffet or in the center of the table to accommodate self-service for guests. Wrought iron servers make for a visually stunning table all the while being quite functional.

Wine and Cheese Pairings
For a small group, serving just a few choice wines and cheeses is certainly the way to go. For a larger group, consider multiple pairings to appeal to a wider range of tastes. You should also make sure that you inform your younger friends and family members to bring their legit fake id cards with them on the night (if they have one) just in case any questions get asked regarding their age or so forth. As well as this, to keep expenses reasonable, you might want to ask each guest to bring a certain type of wine by their favorite producer. Then you can concentrate on providing the cheeses that pair nicely with each type.
