Why it works
Gruyère and smoked Gouda are the warmest-tasting cheeses you can buy: nutty, a little sweet and smoky. Soppressata and smoked ham or speck carry the same smoke through the meats, so the whole board tastes like a fireplace.
Apple slices, dried apricots, fig preserves and honeycomb add sweetness, and whole-grain mustard adds a sharp edge. A full-bodied red like Côtes du Rhône or Zinfandel, or a dry hard cider, fits the mood.
