One of my favorite go-to ideas for an adult night in is a wine and cheese party. It does take a little preparation if you aren't a wine/cheese expert, but 20 minutes on the internet and you'll know more than you need to pull this off. The must-haves are simple - various wines and cheeses of course, and you'll need some other finger foods to pair with the wine other than just the cheese. Olives, grapes, and dark chocolate are a few of my favorites, along with some assorted meats (salami, pepperoni, etc). If you're turning this into a full-on dinner party, I would suggest fondue with various meats along with sauces for dipping. The one important thing to do is to help your guests out, as it's likely they have no clue which cheeses should be paired with which wines (unless you have some fancy pants friends of course). I made quick little signs for each cheese, detailing which wines work best. Conversely, you could label the wines instead to let your guests know which cheeses/foods go best. Some people opt to have their guests bring their own favorite wine, or to each bring a cheese. I would side with labeling whatever you are providing as the host to make it easy (or if you're a control freak like me, you just volunteer to provide it all so you know exactly what is pairing with what... :)

AuthorI love writing romance novels, editing other people's novels, planning parties (heavy on the theme food!) and watching movies. Cooking has also become a passion of mine (because you can't have a proper party without food!) and I love finding new hobbies when I can squeeze them in. Archives
