What cheeses , wines and biscuits etc would you serve?
hypatia said:I tend to pick a country or vinyard to spotlight, it just makes it easier to narrow down my choices. 5 different wines to sample is a good amount, and pretty much covers the spectrum of sweets to drys.
I tend to perfer seeded crackers and breads, but with out/ or low salt. 1 soft cheese, 1 white semi hard, 1 mild yellow and 1 sharp yellow. Sliced apples, pears and grapes, or even dried fruites. Then a platter of sweets for the last hour. Chocolates, Lady fingers, short breads.

wolram said:You are right about the blue cheese MoonB, i can only drink a sweet blandish wine with it.

Moonbear said:Yeah, I love blue cheese, but I think that one has to be eliminated. Perhaps some sort of a goat's milk cheese would suit the more adventurous in the group (taste a little before buying for the party...some can be nice and mild and others horrendously stinky and foul tasting...not that I like any of them, but I know many others do).
