Pairing Cheese with your Wines


Love wine with cheese?? Here's a simple guide for how to match up your favorite cheese to a great wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon - Blue Cheese... The stinkier, the better!

Chardonnay - Brie or Camembert... Try cutting off the top of the rind and put in the oven at 400 degrees until creamy. It's great with apple slices too.

Merlot - Aged Gouda or Cheddar... You may like a smoked cheese with an oaky Merlot.

Muscat/Reisling - Pepper Jack

Rosato - Creamy Goat Cheese... You can make a crostini by adding goat cheese to a cracker or toasted slice of french bread and top with a tomato and basil!

Sauvignon Blanc - Creamy Goat Cheese (see above)

Tempranillo - Manchego... This cheese is best served at room temperature.

Zinfandel - Havarti or mild cheeses
