Gruyere cheese for wine tasting party?

Question

I know Gruyere is great in gratin-but is it suitable for a wine tasting? I have not tried it unmelted... : )

Any ideas as far as presentation appreciated!

Answer 1

It may have too strong of a taste.  I recently went to a wine tasting and they served veggies with a light dip, water crackers with mild cheeses that included marinated mozzarella .

Answer 2

Swiss Gruyere is a very versatile cheese.

It is also a great table cheese with a nutty, pleasant flavor.

It's also one of the best melting cheeses( Fondue, on top of onion soup, and as you said Au gratin).

It goes great with Rieslings and some reds( not the stronger ones however).

Maybe a nice Pinot Noir.

Good choice for a cheese.

Ah presentation

Always serve with fruits such as grapes,brown pears and apples( those are the best for Gruyere) or Membrillo( quince paste) found at almost every cheese counter.

Email me if you need any other suggestions.

I'm sitting in front of 200 cheeses right now at our store!

Eiswein is great with blues

Auslese Riesling?--YES
