Traditions, customs, and cultured palates... dating long before the Roman Empire, marry cheeses with wines and wonderful breads too. We like to serve our cheeses with ciders and microbrewed beers as well. Check out winemonthclub.com and beermonthclub.com.

The best rule is... eat it that way if you like it that way, but here are some other wine and cheese guidelines for your consideration:

• Most all white wines may be served with almost any cheese
  
  
• The most complementary reds are fruity, light, or dry Champagnes, nice and dry, are a sophisticated choice for bloomy rinds
  
  
• White, fresh, medium to hard cheeses are delightful with crisp, fruity wines... both red and white
  
  
• So you love goat cheese, and the likes... fill your glass with dry reds
  
  
• Smooth, creamy cheeses cry out for full bodied wines
  
  
• If you are serving sweet wines, go for cheddar
