	Cheese and wine Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

You an't beat a good strong cheese...Caerphilly and Emmenthal are my favourites right now.

As for wines, six months ago I was more into white but since my parents are away I seem to have taken to plundering their red wine stash. Currently on a northern Spain 2001 bottle, Bodega Virgen Blance, Lerin, Temprenillo. Good stuff. Just hope it's not too expensive..

Jarlsberg goes well with some whites - medium dry or sweeter.

At this rate you won't be able to afford that Holiday Bods.

If it has a cork my guess it is pretty expensive

The wine is free...at the moment.

We had quite a lot of cheese in when my parents left. I've ran out of Emmenthal though. Just left with a small slab of Caerphilly (thanks to Provost demolishing it) and some bland cheddar. Some soft stilton or something like that, but it is wrapped in some dodgy cling film and I don't fancy having the kitchen smelling for a week of sweaty toes.

What, like £2.99 a bottle?

Tell you what really pisses me right off - those platic corks. Sure they might keep the wine betetr but they are a right bugger to get off corkscrews. I've had to take scissors to them twice.

Wine down the pub? Isn't that a b*tch drink?

How did he "demolish" the cheese? In an "American Pie" sense?

	Suffering from ads?

I hate cheese with a passion. Not just that I'm alergic to it, but I have always found it absolutly disgusting

As for the wine, it's young (for a Spaniad), and not from any of the main regions (such as Rioja or Ribero Del Duero). My guess is it won't be too expensive. You probably know how much your parents usually spend on wine, and where they get it from, but my guess is somewhere between £4 and £7 per bottle. I'm getting more and more into Spanish reds, you can pick up an old, decent one ('88 or '89) for less than £10, and anything I've found in my local shop for £5 or so has been very drinkable.

Much as I am sure screw caps keep the wine just as good, and cost less, as I keep being told by all these 'fasionable' wine people on TV, it just isn't the same. I'll use a good ol' cork anyday. Imangine Champagne with a screw cap Just wouldn't be the same.

What's there to love??? It doesn't taste of anything, is expensive and is basically some left-over from the real thing.

alva, it does have its own taste, and even if it's not too strong, it's just nice to eat it. Like potatoe chips / crisps. They can taste like sh!t and you'll still eat them. That's because of glutamates, but still.

Hmm, ok, but to jump from that and make it your favorite...

It's ok when it melted, but the classic with tomato and some herbs and oil

Try the same with a gently melted goatscheese
(or even fried )

goatscheese can be good, but not the light stuff you get in the west. my grandparents once brought cool goatscheese from greece or so, it was brown (or was it sheep cheese? if cheep cheese is feta this must have been goat cheese) and tasted like heaven
