Perfect Wine and Cheese Pairings for Autumn Evenings
As the weather cools down, it's the perfect time to cozy up with a glass of wine and some delicious cheeses. Whether you're hosting a small gathering or enjoying a quiet night at home, these wine and cheese pairings will elevate your autumn evenings. Here are some of our top recommendations:
1. Cabernet Sauvignon with Aged Cheddar
Why It Works: The bold, tannic structure of a Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with the sharp, complex flavors of aged cheddar. The wine's richness balances the cheese’s savory notes, creating a harmonious combination.
Suggested Pairing: Try pairing a California Cabernet Sauvignon with an aged Vermont Cheddar. Add a touch of honey and roasted almonds to enhance the experience.
2. Pinot Noir with Brie
Why It Works: A lighter red wine like Pinot Noir complements the soft, creamy texture of Brie without overpowering its delicate flavor. The wine’s subtle berry notes bring out the buttery richness of the cheese.
Suggested Pairing: Go for a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with a triple-cream Brie from France. Add fresh strawberries or figs for an extra touch.
3. Sauvignon Blanc with Goat Cheese
Why It Works: The crisp acidity of Sauvignon Blanc balances the tangy, earthy flavor of goat cheese. This pairing is light and refreshing, perfect for an appetizer.
Suggested Pairing: A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with a soft, fresh goat cheese. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs like thyme or basil.
