More people are entertaining at home now, and with spring around the corner, what better time to host a party for women only? Recently, I pulled out my fine china and crystal for a night of wine, cheese, and conversation with my closest friends and family. With an elegant table setting and creative decorations, you can create the feel of a winery in your own home.

We had a great time and discovered some divine cheeses along the way. Here are some of our favorites:
Port Salut (my favorite; goes well with Champagne)

We then topped the night off with coffee and, what else, cheesecake! 5 Star Foodie recently paired a chocolate cheese with an ice wine. While I’ve never had either, I will definitely try that pairing next! What are your favorite wine and cheese pairings?
