We're all down with the fact that cheese and wine are a match made in tastebud heaven, but knowing which styles make the best mates can prove a little more elusive. Luckily, the folks at Cake Wines know a thing or two, and they're happy to share. Off the back of a sell-out event in June, the label's Redfern cellar door will be pulling together a couple of your all-time favourite things once a month, for a new cheese and wine pairing series called Where's the Cheese?
Featuring Cake's own tasty drops alongside a global selection of top-notch cheese, each of these monthly nights will focus on a different wine varietal and explore which styles of cheese complement it best. This month — Thursday, August 17 — will focus on Cabernet and its ideal dairy offsiders, including an aged Gruyère, a cloth-bound cheddar and a Parmigiano-Reggiano.
The $10 entry fee will get you samples of all that delicious cheese and plenty of fun facts to whip out at your next dinner party. You'll need to bring a few extra dollars for the wine, which'll be on offer at standard cellar door prices. You can book a table on their website.
