Where does the myth that cheese and wine are good companions come from? We suspect that the perfect partnerships that exist between, say, Roquefort and noble late harvest wines, or goat’s-milk cheese (Chevin) and Sauvignon Blanc, made us believe that all cheeses go well with most wines.They don’t. In fact cheese is one of the trickiest foods to match with wine.
