Deluxe Cheese Board

Looking for an easy appetizer idea? Try a cheese plate!

Start with a crowd-pleasing hard cheese such as Karst Cave Aged Cheddar, which pairs well with Louis Martini Napa Cabernet Sauvignon or a Kölsch beer. Then add simple sides of varying textures and flavors. Some of our favorites include:

Grapes
Dark chocolate
Salami
Caramelized walnuts
Dried fruits such as apricots or cherries

Get creative! Adding a variety of finger foods will create an impressive appetizer plate that appeals to everyone at your gathering.
