Wine/Serving

General thumb|Various styles of wine glasses. Proper wine glasses help ensure a good drinking experience. Chill white or sparkling wine for at least 1 hour prior to serving. Decant red wines prior to guests' arrival. Wine charms can help guests distinguish their glasses. Alternatively, one may use marked wine glasses for the same purpose. Serving with cheese Serve cheese at room temperature; this brings out their fullest flavors. Arrange the food items 30-60 minutes before the guests arrive. Cheese should be brought out three hours before serving. Cover the platters with plastic wrap to keep them fresh, but remove just prior to serving. Leave space between cheeses to keep flavors from blending. On the same idea, each cheese should have its own knife or spreader. 25%
