At every price level, an outstanding selection
of wines chosen by John Hoskins MW

All these wines should work with gentle hard cheeses (Caerphilly, Cheshire etc), which suit softer red wines or rounded whites. Creamy, soft, mild cheeses need rich white wines - you can try a red but it won't be flattered. So stick to the first few here. For goats' cheese ignore all this and drink Sancerre or Pouilly Fumé!
