quick and painless wine and cheese pairing

I can't imagine that many of you need an excuse to throw a wine and cheese party, but if the winter holiday season isn't justification enough, then may the ghost of Chateau Lafite help you, my child. TheWineman.com can also make it easier by taking the guesswork out of picking the right cheeses to go with the right wines. Hopefully your guests won't really care if you accidentally serve the Brie with Bordeaux instead of Beaujolais, but with this simple, easy-to-read chart, it's hard to get your fermented curds and juices mixed up too badly. If you still feel overwhelmed by such an array of possibilities, just pick up some Stilton, Port, and walnuts, and settle in for a delicious evening.
