Let's start with your red wine selection. Traditionally, red wines have been paired with hard cheeses. Here are some possibilities: Camembert, Sharp Cheddar, Blue
For a white wine, in this case a Chardonnay, you may find that your guests will enjoy some stronger flavored cheeses such as; Epoisses or any pungent cheese that is 'in the rind, Mild Cheddar, Gruyere.
Good luck with your wine and cheese party, hope it's a hit.

M$It seems to be that with a rich red wine, a mild cheese is better. Try to avoid soft cheese with a bold Cabernet. I'm not sure whether the wine you're using is strong or not, but some recommendations for red wine in general are Gouda (which I personally love), Scharfe Maxx, or Le Moulis. These are all pretty firm cheeses, so that seems to fit with the rule I talked about above, especially if you're drinking a full flavored red wine.
For white wine, you can experiment more with different textures of cheese, at least in my opinion. For me, almost any type of cheese goes with white wine! Cheeses like Havarti, Camembert, Epoisses, and Brie are some recommendations. With white wine, you can veer towards softer, stronger cheeses, but hard, mild cheese can be good too.
Really, there's no set rule about wine and cheese. If you know what kind of wine you will be drinking and the flavors that will be involved in that, then deciding which cheese to go with will be easier. I hope my suggestions helped, and if you would like to, you can check out the sources I used for more input. Good luck and have fun! Wine and cheese parties are the best!

To get the best from your cheeses, make sure you serve them at room temperature. You can bring them out of the refrigerator few hours before the party begins.
