Hi I was intrigued by your findings about cheese and wine pairing. I collate information where there are ideal cheese/wine pairings. It's a very subjective (and misunderstood) subject. I'd be happy to add any cracking wine/cheese combinations you find to my database on templarwines.com. The information is free to reference. You'll find it under "useful stuff"
