The way to my heart is through my stomach. My girlfriend became aware of this very early in our relationship, and over five years later we’re still together.

OK, so it’s more than just food you need to make a relationship work, but if your partner is ‘good food’ on the brain, then Niall’s fancy cheese selection and a nice bottle of wine or sparkling wine will surely be enough to seduce.

Ginette Mathiot (I Know How To Cook) suggests:

Red wine is usually served with cheese. But the wine should be chosen to suit the cheese. So, for example, Gruyere and Brie require a less full-bodied wine than Roquefort. Goats milk cheese goes well with a dry white wine such as Sancerre.

Many wines are matched with the locally produced cheeses of that region, but you don’t have to be that fussy. Why not treat your loved one to a Ruby Port with cheddar, a Late Harvest Riesling with Brie or a Bordeaux Pomerol with Camembert? You can look up the I Love Cheese website for more inspiration.
