Costly? Sometimes. Snobbish? Perhaps. Titillating? Always! Wine and cheese pairings are a lot of things to a lot of people, but to us they're booze-fueled romps through dairy-laden bliss. Plus, they do well to impress dates (though that may have more to do with pairing a 13 percent alcohol content with little to no sustenance). At any rate, we hope you enjoy our two favorite vices as much as we do.
Days of wine and...cheese
The two go together like candy hearts and Valentine's Day

Munchie: It's the cheesiest
Nothing says you love someone like being willing to share a cheese plate. Remember, the operative word is "share." Sharing is sexy.
Munchie: Steady mac'n
What? You don't think mac 'n' cheese is sexy? OK, maybe it doesn't get the fires burning, but it says comfort and wouldn't you like to be in a comfortable relationship right now? Who needs passion, anyway?
