With a cheese board you have the problem that there are different types of cheese on it. So it is best to choose a wine that combines with different cheeses. Such a wine is more white than red, and preferably something sweet. A sweet Madeira is an excellent choice, for example.
It is a misconception that red wine goes well with cheese. More often than not, this is not the case. The misconception is probably based on red Port, which does pair well with many cheeses. But mature, preferably slightly sweet white wines pair much better.
