#35 - Fifty Shades of Cheese

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’re talking one of the greatest pairings of all time: cheese and wine — and why it might just be the perfect date night. We touch on thescience, the romance, and why sharing rich food and good wine instantly brings people closer. Then we get properly stuck into the pairings. We taste our way through a selection of Stella Bella wine, including Chardonnay, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Moscato, matching each with its ideal cheese — from soft and creamy to aged, salty and seriously bold. We break down why fat softens tannins, why bubbles love cheese, and how sweetness can tame even the stinkiest blues. It’s practical, indulgent, and surprisingly educational, with plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you’re planning a date night, building a cheese board, or just love learning why things taste good together, this episode has you covered. Follow us on Instagram!https://www.instagram.com/wiserwithwine/Pour thoughtfully, sip responsibly, and follow your local laws 🍷18+ AUS | 21+ USA
