Perfect Pairings ~ cheese and wine for dummies tray!

Scott and I are going out tonight! 

We've been invited to a New Years Eve's Eve party. 

Cheers to good food, good wine, and an adult night out with my husband and friends!

Here's a tray I designed for the perfect cheese and wine pairings.  It was made using our homemade chalk paint and our trademark thrifted pulls.  If you want more details ~ check out our previous tray posts here and here.  I chose these specific pulls because of their unique design and aged looking patinae.  This tray is meant for someone with an inspiring love of the good things in life;  Expression through art, dance, good food, fine wines and spending time with cherished friends.  I really hope she likes it. 
The base of the tray is a chalkboard.  You can add little notes, comments or arrows ---> This makes it nice to pair wine with complimentary cheeses or other hors d'oeuvres ~ for those of us with absolutely no clue.  Yes, I fit into the somewhat clueless category. 

I created these little chalkboard tags for wine bottle labeling, gift tagging or just fun messages.  I think they add a fun touch to any gift of wine.

"Perfect PAIRS"



Fun, flirty hardware as handles.


Wouldn't this be "Perfect" for a wine tasting party?
Whatever your plans are for ringing in the New Year, I wish you the best. 

CHEERS!
Sherry
