Gouda is another popular one for a cheese platter and tends to be on the mild side. Pairing this cheese with wine is relatively easy because it will go well with just about any wine varietal. However, when matched with a Viognier or a Sémillon, it can really enhance the aromatic Viognier with notes of apricots, orange blossom, and honey and bring out a richness in the Sémillon. These are two more obscure varietals but they’re definitely worth trying!
