Comeluna Rosso
Perfect Pair: Laura Chenel’s Black Truffle Cheese
Intense cherry notes are balanced with an even acidity, making Comeluna Rosso a bold red fit for a feast. Laura Chenel’s Black Truffle Cheese is packed with savory umami flavors, thanks to earthy truffles and citrusy, tangy goat cheese.
When paired, the fruity elements of the wine balance the earthiness of the cheese, and the wine’s acidity excentuates the creaminess of the cheese.
Pizzolato Brut Spumante
Perfect Pair: Montchevre Triple Créme Goat Brie
Don’t forget the bubbles! Pizzolato Brut Spumante is a pretty, pink, bubbly rosé in a gorgeous, giftable bottle. The organic grapes and bright, flavorful aromas of lemon, ripe apples, and summer peaches offer a sensastion sparkle that pair well with the velvety, rich texture of Montchevre Triple Créme Goat Brie. Soft bubbles rebalance the palate after a bite of buttery cheese.
Famega Vinho Verde
Perfect Pair: Marin French Petite Breakfast Cheese
Famega Vinho Verde is one of our top-selling wines for a reason! Light and fizzy, this white is bright and lemony, with a crisp, clean finish. Its light effervescence doesn’t overpower the mild, but delightfully creamy flavor and texture of Marin French Petite Breakfast Cheese. Brunch charcuterie? We say oui, oui!
Campuget Rosé
Perfect Pair: Beehive Cheese Barely Buzzed
Fresh and dry and bright with flavors of strawberry and citrus, Campuget Rosé’s herbal notes are reminiscent of a springy Skagit day. Refreshing, with enough structure to hold up well to bold, savory flavors - exactly what Beehive Cheese Barely Buzzed cheddar is all about. A semi-firm cheese rubbed in espresso and lavender, Barely Buzzed is nutty and sweet-savory, and certainly a unique cheese you won’t find just anywhere.
