This is one of my favourite things to make as a starter before a braai or to have at wine evening with friends. I had a few friends over on Saturday before the rugby game for some cheese and wine. This board is great for entertaining, everyone can help them selves. Rose or a red wine are perfect to drink with a cheese evening.
