In Australia you can get whats called Trilogy cheese. It have 3 different flavoured cheeses in one. Your best bet would be to choose a cheese platter, they sell them prepackaged or you could also ask the deli counter. For crackers, choose something simple like Jatz.
Wheat crackers, and maybe some sesame. Smoked Gouda,Sharp Cheddar, Brie or Camembert, Stilton or Bleu…
Ask at your supermarket, they can be a great source of ideas, they would be to happy to help you
go to Trader Joe’s and get different little cheeses and gourmet crackers,they aren’t very expensive and you’ll be fine.
you can more than likely get the wine there to.
Water crackers are pretty safe.
Cheese could be anything you like that’s above Velveeta and can be dealt with easily. Something soft like goat cheese, brie, or camembert is easy to deal with and snobby enough for most people. If you get a brie or camembert, look for one that’s at least a bit squishy at the edges, and let it come to room temp before serving.
I would go with wheat thins instaed of crackers, and probably a provolone or maybee a smoked swiss. White cheese seems to go good with red wine, but actual crackers seem to soak up the flavor of the wine. So go with wheat thins or triscuits are even good as well. If you want to try something different, try some stone ground mustard or a horshradish with it. kinda spices it up a little.
