Wine and Cheese Fun

I don’t think it gets much better than having friends over for a relaxing wine and cheese get together. It’s so much easier than slaving over a stove for a dinner party. Everyone can just nibble and have amazing wine while catching up. It’s my favorite way to entertain! It wasn’t until I discovered the online store Uncommon Goods though that I realized just how fun it could be. It was a game changer. Not only are the kitchen and bar products unique and gorgeous, but they are a B corporation. That means they are a company that meets a high standard of excellence on issues such as wage levels and environmental impact. They also have a Better to Give program. With every purchase, they donate a dollar to the non-profit of your choice. I don’t know about you, but that made me feel pretty darn good about buying from them. That wouldn’t mean much though if there products were no good. Let me tell you, they are amazing!

I am in love with the cheeseboard I got from uncommon goods. It's a heavy duty and durable slate with a gorgeous color to set off the cheeses. It came with chalk to label the cheeses so everyone could easily identify them too! I always like to do at least three different cheeses with crackers and some kind of fruit. This time I did a roquefort, manchego (my fave!) and because it's almost St. Patrick's Day, Dubliner cheese. Apple was perfect in this case because its sweetness mellowed the roquefort perfectly. — I am in love with the cheeseboard I got from Uncommon Goods. It’s a heavy duty and durable slate with a gorgeous color to set off the cheeses. It came with soapstone chalk to label the cheeses so everyone could easily identify them too! I always like to do at least three different cheeses with crackers and a fruit. This time I put out roquefort, manchego (my fave!) and because it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, Dubliner cheese.

That cheese board would make a perfect hostess gift too any time you need one. You can check out all of the other wonderful hostess gift ideas from Uncommon Goods by clicking here! I also fell in love with an adorable personalized cutting board that would be great for putting out some fresh fruit or vegetables. I think it’s going to be my next purchase. Check it out here!

If you're like me, you can almost have an anxiety attack over what wines to pair with whatever you are serving. When I saw these towels, I had to have them. They're fun and informative at the same time! — If you’re like me, you can almost have an anxiety attack over what wines to pair with whatever you are serving. When I saw these serving towels, I had to have them. They’re fun and informative at the same time! I have never seen anything like them before. They cover any wine pairing you can think of!

Instead of serving wine in traditional glasses, I loved serving it in this fun wine flight set! It let me pour 4 different varieties at once to sample with the different cheeses. It made the experience more interactive to try different pairings! I am a red wine woman, so I poured all reds this time. My favorite pairing was a strong cabernet sauvignon with the equally strong roquefort!

If you don’t want to open multiple bottles for a flight, then I highly recommend taking a look at the amazing wine glasses from Uncommon Goods. You can check them out by clicking here! They are all so pretty, fun and perfect for a wine and cheese party.

Wine and Cheese — So call up your friends, find some great wine and cheese, and have a blast without having to turn on the stove! It’s easy and elegant entertaining and so much fun to boot. My amazing finds from Uncommon Goods made it a breeze. As always, keep life delicious friends! xoxo
