Pairings: Wine and cheese Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:54:00 EST
When pairing cheese with wine, the texture of the cheese needs to be compatible with the mouth feel of the wine. For example, cheddar cheese is a semi-hard, granular-type of cheese that pairs well with a medium bodied merlot or zinfandel. Try it with one of the varietals from Mystic Wines. If you'd prefer a white wine, try a spicy gewürztraminer from Tyee Wine Cellars. A cheese like Gruyère is a medium-firm cheese, which best pairs with a medium-textured chardonnay such as the one from Amalie Robert Estate. You could also try a luscious, round riesling from Vitae Springs Vineyard or a medium-bodied viognier from Trinity Vineyards. The crisp acids in these wines stand up nicely to the creaminess of the cheese.
