Wine tasting gala.. What cheese do I use?
Posted by shalshaw, Aug 31.

Hey,
I am going to have a great gala this upcoming month and it is going to be amazing! One of the events that we are going to have is a wine tasting party. I honestly don't know what kind of gourmet cheese we are going to need. But, my neighbor had an amazing party and he had some of the best [url=http://thecheeseambassador.com/]Gourmet Cheese[/url] ever. It helped with the wine tasting 100 fold. I think that little things like this make the difference in the party. Please if you have any ideas on what type of cheese or a good presentation tell me!

Thanks,
Shal

@Shal ... I am a sucker for San Joaquin Gold by Fiscalini Cheese Company - http://www.fiscalinicheese.com/NDOG01.html I think it is a great wine to pair with cheese. That and a nice dry jack.

Dry Jack is a good choice, maybe with a little spam?

So Greg, can you tell us what's in spam? And are you sure you didn't grow up in Hawaii? ;-)

I only lived in Hawaii for 2 years.

Actually like Spam out of the can!

Spam, that delicious spiced ham treat, consist of pork, ham, salt, spices, some more salt, and sodium nitrate.

Which part of the pig? Plenty of hoof, tail and skin, and what the Japanese call 'hormones', I'm thinking. And I've always wondered if there weren't a couple more secret ingredients.

Please don't tell me you developed a taste for spam musubi. But, what the heck, what's a good wine with that? I'm thinking a nasty muller thurgau...

Back on track, shalshaw, what kind of wine were you planning to serve?

What wines are on tasting?
Do you have or can you get Banana leaves?
Will you also be having fruit or veg and if so what types?
Nut's and/or dips?
If you have time let me know and I'll try to give you some ideas.

And Greg I like spam too (lips,snouts, hoof's and all)
