ONCE A MONTH WINE KNOWLEDGE:  Wine & Cheese Pairing:

Brie & Camembert: Simple Sparkling Wines are good such as Champange,  Sekt & Cava. Also try crisp & mildly sweet,  Moscato d'Asti is a perfect accent to this creamy cheese.

Mascarpone: Fresh fruits & acids of a Pinot Grigio blend seamlessly with this cheese & refresh the palate.

Muenster: a wide variety of wines will blend try a Sauvignon Blanc.

Havarti: A fresh young fruity wine with herbal tones will accent this wine also try Chevalier de Bayard

Fontina: Un-oaked Chardonnay is the way!

Swiss & Baby Swiss: Sauvignon Blanc or perhaps a White Bordeaux.

Gruyere: Reislings fruity with the proper acidity  are perfect. Also try a good Pinot Noir.

Gouda & Edam: Buttery full-bodied Chardonnay.

Smoked Gouda: A full rich fruity semi sweet red like  Monastrell from the Jumilla Region of Spain. I have to add much to my surprise a fresh young fruity yet crisp Rheinhessen Riesling for the contrast.

Aged Brick: Late Harvest sweet, spicy full bodied like a Beerenauslese offer a pleasant sublte contarast.

Med to Aged Cheddar: Many red wines will pair try a Port or Sherry for a Nice contrast!

Provolone: the Spicy fruit flavors of Amarone are perfect  also try  Valpolicellas, Chianti and Super Tuscans!

Mozzarella: Most red wines especailly the Italians.

Romano: The soft fruitiness of Chianti is perfect to balance this cheese.

Parmesean: Late Harvest especially Rieslings bring out the saltiness and sweetness of this cheese.

Asiago: Semi Sweet, Berry driven wines such as Merlot and Merlot Cab Blends work well.

Farmers:  Keep it clean and simple with Sauvignon Blanc

Gorgonzola: Rich fruit driven reds.

Blue Cheese: Rich, Robust Reds...Port is perfect!

Goat Cheese: Shiraz especially the Smokey South African from Boland cellars!

Crianza: Spain-Code: JDY ~ A blend of 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33 % Merlot & 33% Tempranillo. The three most common ageing designations on Spanish wine labels are Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva  Crianza red wines are aged for 2 years with at least 6 months or more in oak. Reserva: Spain-Code: JRR ~aged 3 years with at least 1 year in oak  Enjoy these bolder reds with Steak and more heartier fare.

“Lacrima Christi del Vesuvio Bianco" Code: IPC ~A fuller body White with layers of flavors
The wine has a nice history.  It has been grown and made on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, outside Naples, Italy, for hundreds of years (legends say maybe over 2000!).  The primary grape of the red wine is Aglianico, while the white is more often blended, with codo di volpe, Caprettone, and some falanghina as well. The legend says that Christ cried over Lucifer, and his tears created the lava channels down Vesuvius, where these grapes now grow. Or that the red wine is the color of Christ's tears.  Or that the grapes tend to droop a little on the vine when they are ripe, turning into a tear shape.  Like most legends, there is more than one version of this one! Ths white goes great with most salads, heavier cheeses, pasta & Italian fare.
