At New York, New York there is a festival that will celebrate the wine and cheese of Italy. The festival is entitled: "The Wine & Cheese of Italy: Off the Beaten Path." The festival will feature 8 different kinds of wine and 6 different kinds of cheeses. These varainats will be the examples for the wine and cheese tasting class. The event will feature two respecatble persons on the industry: Dilek Caner and Chris Munsey.
Caner will introduce the fine grape variety of Italy that makes their wine taste so good. Munsey on the other hand will discuss the concept of artisanal cheeses and how they differ to commercially produced cheeses. One interesting class that Munsey likes to talk about in his class is the art of Cheese tasting. Munsey on the other hand will give lectures on the concept of artisanal cheeses and how they differ with commercially produce cheese variations.
Basically cheese and wine pairings have a Light on Light formula. It means that the lighter, softer and more buttery flavored cheeses are to be paired with light colored wines or white wines. Heavier, darker and nuttier flavor of cheese is great to compare with darker and bolder wines.
Putting together a cheese plate is a fun and interesting activity to do. You should first begin with your light cheese on the 6 o clock position on your plate, making your way up around the whole plate like a clock. It is also called a sthe "Cheese Clock". You can place more than one variation of cheese per "clock" segment. Don't forget to down your cheese with the matching wine to enrich the cheese and wine tasting experience!
