Wine and Cheese Box

Wine and cheese are wonderful together. Pairing the two creates a harmonious symphony of flavors, with the nuanced notes of wine complementing the creamy, sharp, or savory profiles of cheese, resulting in a delightful, indulgent pairing experience. This box is "just add wine" for the perfect entertaining experience this holiday season.

To get your party started, first up is a gift certificate from the Cheese & Charcuterie Shop at the West Side Market (value $150). These experts will carefully curate for you a delectable cheese & charcuterie board guaranteed to wow your guests. The Cheese & Charcuterie Shop offers an impressive imported & domestic cheese selection. They maintain their unique niche by offering more than 175 traditional & rare cheeses from all over the world as well as a diverse line of specialty items. 

Next up is a vintage wine decanter in a lovely contemporary design. The generous surface area helps mellow out the tannins and lets younger wines express themselves better. Decanting wine enhances aeration, allowing flavors to evolve and aromas to flourish. Overall tasting experience is heightened, showcasing wine's full potential. The integrated handle of this decanter allows safer one-handed pouring of your favorite wine, while improving the presentation and experience.

While you wait for your guests with the wine poured and the cheese & charcuterie board arranged just so, polish and inspect one last time your set of four Funktini Hand-Painted Wine Glasses. With plenty of color and a bit of funk, the uniqueness of these glasses will bring a smile to your face. Hand painted and fused to ensure long lasting enjoyment (hand wash/no soaking recommended).

Enhance your cheese and charcuterie boards with 3 bags of assorted Le Cracker crackers, a 100% whole grain product made from spelt grown and milled into flour in West Salem, OH. These artisanal crackers are crafted with the finest ingredients, ensuring a perfect balance of texture and flavor. Owner Kari Moore says “the crackers are made like good bread with a developed flavor. They have some heft and crunch, but they're also thin and crispy, and great with cheese.” Each bag contains a delightful flavor that will complement any cheese or dip.

Unlike Fight Club, the first rule of Wine Club is we talk about Wine Club! Learning about wine should be fun and is easy to do, if you have a few key things: wine (of course), an opener, a few friends, and this book, Wine Club! Each month, discover the key elements of a specific style of wine or varietal, from Cabernet Sauvignon in January to bubbly in December, including taste-testing tips, history, and tasty throw-together or make-ahead bites that pair beautifully with whatever you're pouring. So, uncork (or twist the top off of) a bottle, pour yourself a glass, and join the best club of all: Wine Club! 

To serve, we have a beautiful Boska cheese knife, ideal for soft (and sticky) cheeses such as Brie and Camembert (100% stainless steel, cast in one piece). The understated Danish styling of this knife will speak to your excellent taste for years to come.

Last but not least, we have two complementary cheese boards. Black is always in style, and you'll love the way your cheeses are displayed on this slate, enhancing the contrast between black and brie. For a more traditional look, this handmade wooden board, in a timeless combination of maple and walnut, will hold a large assortment of cheeses, fruits, and other accompaniments. Bon appetit!
