wine and cheese tasting

went to my conversation group in the morning and then to a mom sponsored “wine and cheese” tasting lunch. the hostess is a mom at the school who works with a wine group and specializes in bordeaux. we tried 4 wines and many cheeses. she divided the cheeses onto 3 plates categorized as cow, sheep and goat cheeses. she believes that white wine is better with cheese, in contrast with the standard accepted red. but, i love red wine with cheese. in trying both combinations, it seems to me that cheese emphasizes the flavor of the red wine, whereas the white wine emphasizes the flavor of the cheese. so it depends on which thing you’d like to taste more, the wine or cheese.
the 2 reds that she served were excellent and cost only 17 euros through her.  in case you are interested they are:
