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!

Boland Cellars Pinotage: South Africa Code: JDW ~  Pinotage, is a red wine grape that is South Africa's signature variety. It was bred there in 1925 as a cross between Pinot noir and Cinsaut (Cinsaut is known as Hermitage in South Africa, hence the name of Pinotage). It typically produces deep red varietal wines with smoky, bramble and earthy flavors, sometimes with notes of bananas and tropical fruit. . Pinotage is often blended, and also made into fortified wine and even red sparkling wine. The grape is a viticultural cross, not a hybrid. Both of Pinotage's ancestors are members of Vitis vinifera. Enjoy this Smokey Pinotage with Steak, Blue Cheese & Blue Veined Cheeses, Blue Cheese on Steak, Steak Salad, Goat Cheese, Bar-B-Que...or Just simply by itself!

 
Riesling Auselese  Nahe-Germany Code: PAZ ~ (OWSLAAYSAH) literal meaning: "selected harvest"; plural form is Auslesen is a German language wine term for a late harvest wines riper than Spätlese in the Prädikatswein category of the Austrian and German wine classification. T
he discovery of Auslese wine dates back to 1787
 The grapes are hand picked from selected very ripe bunches in the autumn (late November-early December) Generally Auslese wine can be made in only the best harvest years that have been sufficiently warm.
A small proportion of the grapes may be affected by noble rot in some regions although this never dominates the character of the wine. This Aromatic White Wine has exotic hints of passion fruit, grapefruit and pomegranate in the nose. an expression refereed to in wine lingo meaning the smell of the wine  The taste or palate has an unique balance of acidity, sweetness and slight mineral tones Its luscious fruity/sweetness make it Great for dessert wine or served in a small aperitif glass as a treat. This pairs well before or after a meal with Blue veined cheeses, fruits, crackers and assorted cheese. Dinner dishes such as German Pork Chops with apple sauce.
