For variety, try to include three different kinds of cheese and a selection of goat, sheep and cow’s milk cheese. Younger, more fresh cheese will be more tangy and less complex than their aged counterparts, which are often more savory.
Younger cheese might pair better with wines that have a higher acidity and are a little more fruit-forward. We suggest Viansa Rose, Sonoma County and Valley & Vine Sauvignon Blanc, California, or Windsor Brut Rose, Sonoma County, Platinum Series. An older cheese might call for a wine that has heavier tannins, more body and complexity. Our suggestions are Cosentino Winery THE Poet, Monogamy Cabernet Sauvignon, North Coast, and Clos Pegase Merlot, Mitsuko's Vineyard, Carneros.
Below is a quick guide to help you with your selection:
