Go Local
Pairing locally is a great way to learn more about wine and cheese.
Examples:
- Goat cheese from Loire is great with Sauvignon Blanc from Loire.
- Strong Italian Gorgonzola pairs perfectly with Italian Barolo.
- Spanish Manchego is gorgeous with Spanish Rioja.
- Munster from Alsace is great with Gewürztraminer from Alsace.
