Now that the cooler, cozy season is upon us, naturally we crave soul-warming red wines. So The Wine Sisters' founding sommelier, Erin Henderson, will show you some great cheeses to pair this fall.

Erin also shows you how to style a fall themed cheeseboard with the sophisticated simplicity of the French, to really let cheese take centre stage. And set against the warm glow of a swirling red wine, it is a delicious and pretty way to entertain this fall.

A few quick sips – we mean, tips! – on getting a great red wine pairing for your fall cheeseboard:
🍷 Select light and medium bodied, fruity red wines with lower tannin, and brighter acidity
🍷 Red wines such as Gamay, Pinot Noir, some Chiantis and Bordeaux are good options
🍷Sparkling red wine like Lambrusco is also a terrific cheese pairing – and unexpected!
🍷As much as we love powerful, firm red wines, they can overpower many cheeses, so save those for your dinners of roasted and braised meats

Hi Erin, are you able to give us the name of the type of cheeses you used in this video. Going to pick up the Lambrusco, haven’t had that in such a long time.
