  • Fresh soft herbs – basil, parsley, dill
  • Spinach – fresh or cooked
  • Smoked salmon or smoked trout
  • Anchovies, olives and capers
  • Smoked meats, hams and salami
  • Croutes, crackers, pita crisps and grissini sticks
  • Fruit salad and fruit platters
  • Berries in liqueur

Fresh cheese and Wine

Nothing says holidays, like a cheese log. Ellen DeGeneres

Fresh cheese is usually matched with wine as part of a starter, main or dessert, rather than on its own. In general, choose fresh light wine styles to complement the refreshing nature of the cheese.

  • Sparkling wines such as sparkling whites, Champagne
  • Aromatic whites such as Riesling, Sauvignon blanc
