Cheese and Wine!

June 3, 2018

It’s National Dairy Month, and what’s a better way to celebrate with lots of cheese! And, with it being the summer time, it’s perfect for a little summer cheese and wine party! Plus, with it being the FFA Convention, Jacob’s here to give us a look at what the “Dairy Foods Career Development Event” looks like, all in one jam packed Cooking Up A Storm!

Don’t forget to catch Jacob at the State FFA Convention on Tuesday! He’s the keynote speaker!

Here’s the cheese and wine pairing recommendations by Jacob.

Cheese/Wine Pairings

1. Medium Cheddar – Pairing: Chardonnay

2. Gouda – Pairing: Merlot

3. Havarti – Pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon or Riesling

4. Camembert – Pairing: Champagne

5. Mozzarella – Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc

6. Goat/Feta Cheese – Pairing: Chenin Blanc

7. Ricotta – Pairing: Pinot Grigio

8. Blue Cheese – Pairing: Riesling

9. Pepper Jack – Pairing: Moscato

10. Swiss – Pairing: Pinot Noir

11. Colby Jack – Pairing: Pinot Grigio

12. Sharp Cheddar – Pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon

13. Cream Cheese – Pairing: Chardonnay

If you’re hosting a cheese and wine party, look for some different cheeses to spice it up! Also, ask everyone to bring a different bottle of wine! If you have to pick just one, grab a Riesling or an off-dry white wine. A sparkling wine or a champagne is also a solid choice!

Just remember to not cut the cheese 😉
