Looking for an elegant addition to round out your Easter feast? Delightful and decadent wine and cheese pairings are an easy way to take your celebration to the next level. Just in time for the holiday, our talented wine stewards and cheese specialists have teamed up to find the perfect pairings for springtime entertaining:
Salt Spring Basil Chèvre & Honig Sauvignon Blanc: This herbaceous sauvignon blanc pairs beautifully with the flavorful, basil-topped goat cheese from Canada. With refreshing citrus and tropical aromas and flavors, the wine creates a clean, crisp pairing with the creamy, lemony chèvre.
La Tur & Luca Bosio Cortese Di Gavi: In perfect partnership, this Italian white wine makes the mixed milk Italian cheese shine. With a nutty flavor and citrusy spritz on the nose, the wine brings the buttery flavors of the cheese to the front and finishes with a balance of cream and tang.
Cremeux des Citeaux & Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne: Triple crème and a glass of bubbly is a classic pairing that never fails. With lemon and pear aromas and flavors, the effervescence of this wine balances the decadent creaminess of the cheese with a nice clean finish that leaves you ready for more.
Cypress Grove Midnight Moon & Andrew Murray Tous les Jours Syrah: Remarkably dark and full-bodied, this syrah highlights the sweetness in the goat’s milk gouda and finishes with a silky mouthfeel. The nutty caramel and fruity sweetness of the cheese complement the fruit and spices in the wine.
