What Pairings Will You Choose?

Holidays usually give us a chance to celebrate with delicious food and drinks, and National Wine andย Cheese Day is no different! But if youโ€™re not sure which wines pair well with your favorite cheeses orย vice-versa, you canโ€™t make the most of this indulgent occasion. Here at Doris Italian Market, weโ€™reย proud to say we know our wines and our cheeses. Let us show you some of our most popular pairingsย just in time for this national holiday!

Cabernet Sauvignon & Brie

As a dry red wine thatโ€™s best served with food due to its overwhelming flavor, Cabernet Sauvignonย pairs well with cheeses that have a soft texture and a mild, buttery taste toย  balance it out. Brie is aย perfect example, as itโ€™s made with incredibly rich milk and can be melted to spread on bread orย crackers for a gooey, delicious treat.

Zinfandel & Pepperjack

Looking for some spice? A popular dry red wine, Zinfandel boasts a medium to a full-bodied flavorย that has hints of dark jam and black pepper. Due to its fruity and spicy nature, it pairs well with boldย cheeses, such as pepper jack, as well as with jalapeรฑo or hot Buffalo cheese blends.

Moscato & Muenster

If youโ€™re a sweet and fruity wine lover, Moscato is your pour of choice. Itโ€™s a light-bodied, off-dryย white wine that can have notes of orange blossom and lemon zest. Muenster cheese is made fromย cowโ€™s milk and has a smooth, mellow taste. Itโ€™s perfect for grilled cheese since it melts like a dream!ย Put these two together for a sweet and satisfying pairing.

Riesling & Sharp Cheddar

With aromatic flavors, Riesling is a white wine full of crisp, fruity taste. Itโ€™s also high in acidity, makingย it an ideal match for bold cheeses, like sharp cheddar. Whether you prefer to slice up the cheese onย its own or add it to a recipe, make sure you have a bottle of Riesling to go with it!

Now that youโ€™re a wine and cheese pairing expert, make sure you visit Doris Italian Market to findย your favorite wines and cheeses all in one place. If youโ€™re still not sure what to enjoy on Nationalย Wine and Cheese Day, feel free to ask any of our friendly associates for help!
