I really like cheddar cheese. What wine goes best with it?

Greetings, winelvr!

I'm always hesitant to say "this one wine is the only one you should drink." What if I said "I really love port with cheddar" - and you hate port. Then, even if you tried cheddar and port, you would hate it.

So that being said, I love cheddar and we eat it all the time - either alone or on crackers. It's a cheese we always have a lot of in the fridge. I like it with pretty much every wine. I suppose I like it best with Shiraz and Chianti - reds that are spicy and fruity.

You inspired me to go cut up some cheddar to finish off my Chianti with! It goes nicely.

I like Shiraz, do you have any favorites?

I try to keep drinking new wines all the time so I don't tend to develop favorites - but I do like the Greg Norman Shiraz.

Try to pair cabernet franc, champagne, or merlot with cheddar chess
