]]> For hundreds of years, we have been pairing wine and cheese together, but who came up with this tradition that has now evolved through generations?

If you think about it from a historical context, this pairing actually makes sense. Many cheeses and wines varietals have grown up together, sometimes on the same farm or within the same small village. It is nearly because of its close proximity that wine and cheese have been paired.

From generation to generation, these pairings continue to exist and are especially popular in the French and Italian regions. The French Wine Regions are known for its Bree Cheese production, as well as many wine varietals, such as Beaujolais. A popular wine and cheese pairing. The Italian Wine Regions associates wine and cheese pairing to regionalism.

Wine and Cheese pairing have much to do with regional influences, history and scientific experiments. Today, this great culinary pleasure has become a ‘thing-to-do’ in most cultures.

Both being delicious on its own, when you pair them, it’s like magic happen. There is a wine out there for every kind of cheese.
