| The Paso Robles Wine Club Pairs Well With Cheese |
When it comes to the perfect pairing, wine and cheese
couldn’t be better suited to each other. Many of our Paso Robles Wine Club
members report savoring their wine shipments along with cheese and can’t stop
talking about the experience. Like
cheese, wine is an agricultural product and picks up similar nuances of a
region, so sipping wine while sampling cheese enhances both. If you’re looking
for a new way to enjoy your wine shipment, pairing the wines with cheese might
be the perfect solution.
A few pairing ideas:
Pair fresh cheeses with
Sauvignon: Soft, creamy fresh cheeses like Feta, Chevre and
Burrata taste of fresh milk and are usually tangy. Often, these cheeses are
nuanced with grassy, herbaceous undertones. Sauvignon is crisp and fruity and
often herbaceous—a perfect compliment.
Chardonnay is a good
match for soft ripened cheeses: Also known as bloomy rind cheeses, these
beauties have a oozy texture and mushroomy, tart and tangy profile. Among them:
Brie, Camembert, and Robiola. Chardonnay is a great match and enhances any
underlying herbal notes in the cheese.
Semi Hard Cheeses are
enhanced by Chardonnay: With their low moisture content and
crumbly texture, these cheeses are characterized by their sharp, tangy
profile—one that’s made more pleasurable paired with a buttery, earthy
Chardonnay; the underlying notes of caramel and fruit bring out the best in
semi-hard cheeses.
After
choosing the cheeses, add in a simple mix of accompaniments—fresh figs, grapes
and apples, a selection of water crackers and sliced baguette, and a few
handfuls of walnuts or almonds. Selecting the wines is easy when you join the
Paso Robles Wine Club. We’ll send regular shipments to you and once you
discover wines you like, you can reorder—and they’ll arrive in time for your
next wine and cheese pairing.
