[100% veg*n ] cheese and wine etc and so forth

[Guest guest]

It depends on the wine and it depends upon the beer what foods you pair up with which.

 

I'm a big wine buff and go to a lot of wine tastings, and know what a $30 bottle of wine tastes like. Eventually my palette will be refined enough to know a $40, $50...et cetera.

 

But in any event...you'd need someone who knows wine, has not been vegan their whole life, and knows the equivalent of what vegan pairings would be appropriate. I've been wanting some vegan wine tastings for ages, and wish so many vegans in my area weren't so...how do I put it? " Straight edge " .

what would you serve as an accompaniment to wine or beer?i like nutsi like hummous and pitabut....neither support and/or enhance certain flavors.i have nothing sharp or tart or...you get the picture

i need something quick, easy, that doesn't take a lot of prep time or the like.i deal with a LOT of beer functions, and i'm frankly sick of seeing solidified cow juice(oh, and vegan " cheese " isn't really a good choice. i never liked cheese to begin with, and the vegan versions are just odd)

i'm talking general pairing, not individual pairing

and, each person's ideas of what is good with what wines is different

as i said, i deal with a lot of beer events, and have to organize in one function or another many of them. so, looking for something that i could deal with in events, and for myself

right now i do pita and hummus, bread and hummus, nuts and olives

been thinking maybe a water cracker and sundried tomato pesto type tapenade or something

but..the main thing you see EVERYWHERE, be it beer or wine tasting, is bread and cheese, or cheese and crackers, or sliced preserved flesh and bread....

trying to come up with something that is ready, easy, finger food, etc and so on and so on
