You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$Red wines match best with hard cheeses and milder flavors.
Fruity and sweet white wines (not dry) and dessert wines work best with a wider range of cheeses.
The more pungent the cheese you choose, the sweeter the wine should be.

• White wines match best with soft cheeses and stronger flavors.
• Red wines match best with hard cheeses and milder flavors.
• Fruity and sweet white wines (not dry) and dessert wines work best with a wider range of cheeses.
• The more pungent the cheese you choose, the sweeter the wine should be.
Have fun!

thats an idea I hadn't thought of before. MrsPsionandy likes Moscatel so I'll pick up a bottle and try it with some cheesecake, ginger and either some stilton or a danish blue..
If it works I'll give it a go at the dinner party. This is going to be fun.
