Why pair Wine and Cheese?

Records dating back hundreds of years indicate that wine and cheese from the same locations have been served together for generations. In fact, historians have noted an obvious correlation between the geographical origins of wines and cheese when it comes to historical pairings.

Historic Affinity!
From a historical context, this makes plenty of sense. Many cheese and wine varietals have grown up together, oftentimes on the same farm or within a small village. It’s precisely because of this close proximity, regional recipes for wine, cheese, and other local dishes were paired. Passed down from generation to generation, these pairings continue to exist centuries later.

Science behind the pairing
Scientists believe foods that sit on opposite ends of the spectrum of taste often create a pleasant taste sensation, triggering a good match in the mind. This is true for wine and cheese as well as many other food and drink combinations.
