Cheese Boards Are A Gift, Serving Surface, And Guest Pleaser
You love cheese, your friends love it, and you are looking for the ultimate host or hostess gift. What better than surprising all with an elegant cheese presentation on cheese boards? There are so many materials, designs, and severing sets available to suite almost any occasion. Cheese boards can also be as decoration to enhance the atmosphere of a kitchen or dining area throughout the year. Selecting the right board does not need to be an expedition in futility because of the nearly endless selections available. Cheese boards offer not only a way to present the cheese, but also other enticing foods and snacks.
Cheese boards come in a wide range of materials. Wood, plastic, or even stones like granite or slate are available. Considering this wide range the selection can be made based on appearance and matching to decor or the foods that will be on the surface. The most flexible material is wood. Wood is a choice for not only cheeses but also other foods like crackers or some meats. Wood also provides more options like interesting shapes and cutlery storage under the cutting surface. Plastic and stone surfaces provide easy cleaning and can be used for meats that have flowing juices.
Many cheese boards come with accessories such as small relish dishes, indents for crackers, or cutlery and storage. These accessories along with the shape of the board can make an even more appealing serving area that can be used to draw attention to specific areas of the buffet or room. Shapes like oval, hexagon, or circular can be used to place wine bottles and glasses in specific places. Mixing shapes, materials, and sizes could be used to guide people along the serving area. Along with this particular flowers can be used to enhance the colors of the foods and cover any empty spots on the table.
Parties or other gatherings always seem to be enhanced with the decorative eye of the host or hostess. If you are planning a function with a caterer, let them know what you would like to use from you own selection of cheese boards. This will not only reduce costs, it will provide an idea for what food and wine types would work best with them. Suggestions from cheese and wine experts at local markets as well as Internet catalogs can be gained. Cheese boards can add an important focal point to your gathering, so remember to think about material, ease of cleaning and transporting, shape, and the serving area layout.

Things to put in a wine basket?
I am going to put together a wine basket for my boyfriends parents but I am not sure of what to put in it. I was thinking 1-2 bottles of wine, a monogrammed cheese board with knife, a box or bag of chocolates.. and thats all i have for now. Possible some wine charms? Any other ideas would be great.
Here are a few options.
* wine glasses specific to the type of wine you’ve purchased ( there are different ones)
* decorative wine stoppers
* wine glass charms
* corkscrew
* a nice block of cheese ( brie or asiago tastes really good with wine)
* crackers (try out flavors sesame, garlic,cheese,etc.)
* cheese spreaders
* food that would go well with the wine, such as pasta, olives or smoked salmon
* a wine Bottle Opener
* a picnic blanket
I would say though that the key to a good wine basket is first of all, putting good wine in it. Also, make sure you put in the type of wine they drink. Giving a wine basket with reds when they drink whites defeats the purpose. Also, you can really put other things in if you decide to make it a "theme" basket. Get creative. Italian wine, pasta,Tuscany truffles and an Italian cookbook and voila you have a theme. Have fun!
