Red Bold red wines are high in tannins-- the bitter and astringent compounds found in grape skins. Because of red wine's high tannin content, aged, rich, high-fat cheeses are great for counteracting the bitter flavor.

When selecting a cheese to pair with a red wine, look for cheeses that have been aged at least a year. Beecher's Flagship is a uniquely-robust nutty cheese aged for 15 months, making it a perfect accompaniment to high-tannin red wine.

Rose RosĂŠ is a type of wine that contains some color from grape skins, but not enough for it to be classified as a red wine. They have a bright, fruity and refreshing taste and are relatively low in tannins, making them very versatile for pairing. The acidity and sweetness of RosĂŠ makes it a great choice for pairing with mild, milky and fresh cheeses.

The delicate and mild flavors of Montchevre Goat Cheese Logs perfectly compliment the acidity of RosĂŠ wines.

White White wines have the lowest quantity of tannins, making them considered the best wines to pair with cheese. The acidity and low tannin count of white wine makes them a great match for creamy, soft-ripened cheeses.

The creaminess of Bries and Camemberts off-balances the sharp acidity of white wines.

Brie 3K Ermitage is widely recognized and revered for its creamy texture and subtly complex flavor, making it a great cheese to accompany an acidic and dry white wine.

Saint Angel

Since 1981, Fromagerie Guilloteau has used a unique technology to produce all of their cheeses called ultrafiltration. This manufacturing process involves removing the excess water contained in milk prior to the cheesemaking process, leaving only the protein, milk fat, and nutrients. All the milk Fromagerie Guilloteau receives for their production is pasteurized and then filtered. The results are incredibly even, ultra creamy cheeses with very fine, soft bloomy rinds and exceptional nutritional value.

Valdeon, a hearty blue made with a blend of pasteurized cow and goat milk. Often overshadowed by its famous relative, Cabrales, Valdeon proves noteworthy and deserving of attention. Carefully wrapped in giant sycamore leaves, this beautiful cheese is aged for a minimum of two months in caves nestled throughout the mountainous landscape of the region. Aromas of damp earth, tobacco and vanilla emerge as the wheel is released from its leafy package. Valdeon has very little of the biting spice found in Cabrales.

Hints of chocolate, roasted meats and crusty baked bread roll over the palate in every creamy mouthful. The dense, inky blue veining darts throughout the paste, making each bite as rich and intriguing as the last.
