Red Wine and Cheese

The food world went ballistic last month when news broke that a forthcoming study debunked the notion that wine and cheese go well together.



Over at Slate, Mike Steinberger tries to calm the panic by looking at a draft of the study. Yes, he says, the study shows that cheese diminished the character of each wine. But the better wines still tasted better than the awful wines, he says.



I've been opting for white wine with cheese for years now, but Steinberger gives red wine lovers some hope in his article.
