Thank you, this was a lot of work!

Say Cheese….monger. I love cheese, and I always wondered what would pair well with Chinese Rice Wine (www.chinesericewine.com). Your chart above provides a good guideline. Though it doesn’t call out Chinese Rice Wine specifically, most wine drinkers compare CRW to a port, mediera, or a good dry sherry. Send me an email and let’s discuss reciprocal links. Thanks!
