Wine and Cheese Pairing

Is it soft cheese with white wine, and hard cheese with red wine? Or, what’s this we have been hearing lately about cheese not even being a good match with wine?
Find out the answers to some of your fromage questions as we listen to this World of Pinot Noir seminar on wine and cheese pairing, and you’ll be saying, ‘cheese, please.’

A little hard to follow. A listing of the cheeses and wines with there number as on the layout at the seminar would be helpful.
Great subject; agree with Tim M. – could you please add a list of the wines and cheeses? Thanks.
Nice program, but I was very disappointed with the snooty attitude about Americans and rind-eating. As your experts ought to know, a goodly portion of Europeans and European cheese conoisseurs do NOT eat the rind even of cheeses like Brie. It is soley a matter of preference and personal palate, not “education.” Instead of being snide Eurosnobs, maybe they should educate themselves.

I love redwine such as cabernet sauvignon with cheese like Comté, Tomme or even Roquefort or Munster with some bread. Nothing on earth is better than that!!
Wine pairing is a new concept for me. Thanks for your insight.
