What cheese to make a cheese board?

[OkToday]

Just that really what cheese do you buy to make a cheese board? What wine to go with it? Do I need pickle like Branston? What else apart from crackers to go with it? And do I need to buy/put it on a wooden chopping board? Sorry that was a lot of questions, I am a cheese board virgin.

Decent cheddar
Red fox Leicester for H
Stilton
Yarg
Brie
Applewood for youngest
Goats cheese for eldest

Just one giant slab of somerset brieso tasty

OK then, what Grumpbum123 said is perfect.

And pick wine you like to drink. No point having something no-one likes.

I don't drink alcohol so have no idea about wine, buying it for my friend.

Mmmm love a cheese board. I don't like full bodied wines with cheese so not a merlot but nothing too light like a Pinot Noir. Cannot go wrong with a Malbec or a Cabernet Sav.
Grapes and fig go great with a cheese board. Must have a bree, for sure. A blue is always good and a smokey hard cheese. I could demolish a cheese board right now

I always include an aged cheddar, camembert, goats cheese, blue cheese, smoked cheese and Ossau Iraty which is a sheep's cheese and delicious!

My cheese board is:
A mature cheddar
Another hard cheese, possibly smoked
A brie/camembert
A wensleydale with apricots or cranberries
A hard blue like stilton
A soft blue like cambonzola

Grapes and apples
Oat cakes are good and so are salted crackers

Wine wise, anything I enjoy or a slow gin.

I'm making a cheese board as a Christmas present. Agree with the cheeses above (cheddar, smoked and Brie but this is based on his taste). Ordered a board from eBay which has great reviews (£3 plus £2.50 p&p) plus a small wooden mouse from a friend's shop to sit alongside the cheese. And Port (nice sized bottle, £8 from M&S as half price at the moment).
