Hi, I'd like to talk to you about pairing wine and cheese. I'd like to talk to you about
a type of cheese that we call semi-firm cheeses. And these are cheeses that you might know
by the name of munster or muenster, gouda or alga Havarti or monterey jack. These cheeses
are aged for a short period of time giving them a nice kind of toothsome texture to them
and a mild sometimes nutty flavor. These cheeses go well with a variety of different wines
due to their nice texture and mild flavor. The best wines, white wines to serve with
these cheeses are full bodied white wines. The white wines can stand up to the flavor
of the cheese and they make a nice match. Good white wines include Chardonnay, Sauvignon
Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Viognier. They'll make a wonderful match. If you'd like to match
a red wine with a semi-firm cheese, make sure you stick to the lighter type of red wines
because we don't want the red wines flavor to over power the cheese. Stick to a nice
Dolcetta or a Barbera from Italy. Or you can try a Merlot, a Pinot Noir or a Boujelet.
They'll all make a wonderful match without overpowering the wine, the cheeses flavor.
Enjoy.
