Italy is the country known for its good taste, fine gourmet, romantic places and great Italian cheeses. We are knowledgeable of Mozzarella and Parmesan- two great cheese varieties that only came from Italy. Italy is agreat city to be it is even one of my "must-go to" travel destinations. Apart from all of these there is still one reason why you should love Italy and this: the Italian cheese and wine combo.
At New York, New York there is a festival that will celebrate the wine and cheese of Italy. The festival is entitled: "The Wine & Cheese of Italy: Off the Beaten Path." The festival will feature 8 different kinds of wine and 6 different kinds of cheeses. These varainats will be the examples for the wine and cheese tasting class. The event will feature two respecatble persons on the industry: Dilek Caner and Chris Munsey.
Dilek Caner is the Director of the tasting World which is the organizing committee on this year's event. He will be the presentor on the wine portion in which he will introduce the Grape variety in Italy which produces great tasting wines. Munsey on the other hand will give lectures on the concept of artisanal cheeses and how they differ with commercially produce cheese variations.
Basically cheese and wine pairings have a Light on Light formula. It means that the lighter, softer and more buttery flavored cheeses are to be paired with light colored wines or white wines. Heavier, darker and nuttier flavor of cheese is great to compare with darker and bolder wines.
Putting together a cheese plate is a fun and interesting activity to do. You should first begin with your light cheese on the 6 o clock position on your plate, making your way up around the whole plate like a clock. It is also called a sthe "Cheese Clock". Start your cheese clock from the bottom or the 6 o clock quadrant and work your way up, gradually increasing the boldness and heaviness of the cheese.
