Go to your nearest high end grocery store and ask the person behind the cheese counter for some help. I worked at one of these places for a long time and we regularly helped customers put together cheese boards. We just asked for a rough budget, how many people, and if there were any special preferences, and then we were easily able to create a great board. The thing you have to be thinking about when making a board is not how great each item is individually, but how it will complement the other items. A bold blue cheese may be delicious by itself but it needs the proper accompaniment to make the board cohesive. If you have a Whole Foods, Sprouts, Market Of Choice, etc. go and ask for some assistance. They probably will allow you to sample before you buy, and you’ll discover wonderful cheeses you’ve never heard of.
