FROM THE CHEESE COUNTER TO YOUR TABLE
Less “what do I buy?”
More looking forward to it.
A pretty pairing chart is a start. Hosting takes a little more: how much cheese, how many bottle styles, what to prepare, and what to do once everyone arrives.
This collection puts those decisions in one place. Choose an evening, shop for your group and use the simple tasting prompts if you want a little conversation around the board.
- Know what to pour: 24 pairing ideas with buying notes and easy swaps.
- Shop for your table: quantities for 2, 4, 6 or 8 adults.
- Know what comes next: preparation timelines and a serving order for each evening.
- Keep the table considered: labels, tasting sheets and planning pages you can print again.
ONE SIMPLE WAY TO USE IT
Choose. Shop.
Enjoy the evening.
Take the list.
Use the quantities for your group, select the wine styles and make the suggested substitutions if the shop is missing something.
Set the pace.
Follow the preparation notes, start with a mild cheese and use one useful question. Nobody needs to know tasting vocabulary.
SIX COMPLETE EVENINGS IN THE HOSTING COLLECTION
A plan for
the evening you have in mind.
The easy first evening
Brie, fresh chèvre and Havarti. A gentle introduction to soft, tangy and buttery textures.
A quiet evening for two
Small portions, two bottle styles and a comparison that doesn’t need a big guest list.
The red-wine table
Gruyère, Manchego and aged cheddar, with a lighter-versus-fuller red comparison.
The white-wine discovery
A fresh goat cheese, a nutty firm cheese and a mild buttery one. A useful place to explore white wine.
The after-dinner board
Small blue-cheese bites, mature cheddar and two distinct sweet wine styles.
Bring a bottle, share a board
A flexible board and a simple way to coordinate contributions without everyone bringing a bottle.
Every plan includes the selection, shopping quantities, preparation notes, serving order, substitutions and an invitation you can copy.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
A few clear answers.
What exactly am I buying?
Downloadable PDF guides and printables. The ebook has one PDF, Hosting has four and Complete has six. No physical book, wine, cheese or accessories are shipped.
Is this useful if I don’t know wine?
Yes. The guides use bottle styles and plain descriptions, with buying notes and a short glossary. You can start with a familiar cheese and a small comparison.
Do I need expensive bottles or specialist equipment?
No particular premium bottle is required. The plans use wine styles, ordinary glasses and a simple board. A printer is useful for labels and player sheets, but the guides can be read on screen.
How many guests do the plans cover?
The six main evening plans include food quantities for 2, 4, 6 and 8 adults. Quantities are snack-board estimates, not a full dinner, and can be adjusted for appetite and other food.
Can I print the files again?
Yes, for your own personal gatherings. You may not redistribute, resell or upload the paid PDFs for others to download.
Are the illustrations and matches exact?
Illustrations show representative features of the named cheeses and wine styles. Producers, age and ripeness vary. Pairings are informed starting points, not guarantees or claims that every combination was physically taste-tested.
How do payment and delivery work?
You choose an edition here, then continue to Payhip to pay. Payhip provides your download page and receipt after checkout. Accepted payment methods appear there. Contact details and delivery terms are available before payment.
