Records dating back hundreds of years indicate that wine and cheese from
the same locations have been served together for generations. In fact,
historians have noted an obvious correlation between the
geographical origins of wines and cheese when it comes to
historical pairings.
From a historical context, this makes plenty of sense. Many cheese and
wine varietals have grown up together, oftentimes on the same farm or
within a small village.
It’s precisely because of this
close proximity, regional recipes for
wine, cheese, and other local dishes were paired. Passed down from
generation to generation, these pairings continue to exist centuries
later.
The roots of regional pairings go no deeper than those in Europe.
