When creating The Cheese Board Deck, master food stylist Meg Quinn sought to teach you how to make the perfect cheese plate; and now, in The Wine and Cheese Board Deck, she demystifies the delectable combining of wine and cheese. This deck features a variety of cheeses and accoutrements and wines that go with them—from bold reds and dry whites to easy-drinking rosés and sparkling moscatos. Just pull a card from the deck, gather a few ingredients, follow the assembly, and enjoy!

Meg simplifies the selection process by including plenty of substitutions and wines under $25 so you can tailor the pairings to your taste and budget. The informational cards in The Wine and Cheese Board Deck provide a helpful primer on picking and tasting wine so you can learn how different wine profiles complement various cheeses, allowing you to create your own combinations. And each card offers a photograph on the front to guide your assembly and a simple recipe on the back with wine tasting notes. You’ll find classic combos like Aged Cheddar Phyllo Bites with Cabernet Sauvignon and Spanish Cheese and Tapas with Rioja and more inventive pairings, including Cheesy Fondue with Pinot Gris and Deconstructed Mozzarella Stick with Lambrusco.

With a variety of ideas for hosting friends or enjoying date night at home, The Wine and Cheese Board Deck makes entertaining easy and understanding wine satisfyingly simple.
