Our Top Pairing Picks!
Meiomi Pinot Noir and Gruyere
The red berry fruit is best paired with the nutty flavors of the Gruyere cheese.
Cupcake Vineyards Prosecco and Brie
Stinging bubbles of Champagne pair best with the thickness and creaminess of Brie.
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc and Goat Cheese
The citrus and mineral notes in the Sauvignon Blanc complement the earthy and tart taste of goat cheese.
Saber Brut Rose and Havarti
The crisp fruity flavor from the Rosé is best paired with the mellow flavor in Havarti.
Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and Aged Cheddar
Bold separately AND together! Cabernet Sauvignon and aged cheddar pair beautifully with their bold flavors but aren’t overbearing.
