wine and cheese
Classic reception fare
Wine and cheese refers to a social gathering where wine and cheese are served, typically in a casual but somewhat refined setting: The department hosted a wine and cheese for new faculty.
Such events suggest modest elegance without the formality of a full dinner.
The phrase also describes things paired together as natural complements: They go together like wine and cheese.
