Wine & cheese

To pair wine and cheese could be a very fun experience but could also turn into a very complicated one if we don’t choose the right couples!

Let’s start with Kennedy Shah Sauvignon Blanc and our it with Daphne’s Creamery Chèvre.

Second pairing will get us to a very nice rosé, a blend of Syrah (85%) & Viognier (15%), dry, with a lot of strawberries and very fresh, perfect to pair with a young Sardinian pecorino, Sassai (3 months aged), made with sheep milk.

Red wines are always great with the right cheese too. In this case, La Vie En Rouge, a very fruity red blend will pair very well with an aged Pecorino Sardo (aged 12 months). The drier texture of the cheese and the delicate milky & nutty flavors, will blend very nice with the not so tannic red blend.
