The Pairing: Pleasant Ridge Reserve Select Batch + De Wetshof Estate “Bon Vallon” 2022 Chardonnay

The Pairing: Pleasant Ridge Reserve Select Batch + De Wetshof Estate “Bon Vallon” 2022 Chardonnay

Both the cheese and the wine clearly express their terroir and are exceptional examples of artisanal goods that highlight the importance of tradition. They share characteristics of nuttiness, ripe fruit, and toasted bread that makes the pairing beautifully complementary.

The Pairing: Sogn Tomme + Alexander Valley Vineyards Sangiovese Rosé 2023

We say it a lot, but it’s true: Sheep milk is hard to pair. The flavor is delicate yet complex, the texture rich, the cheese often tart. A Pinot Noir rosé with more skin contact has the perfect amount of tannin to stand up to the Sogn’s richness. The Teutonic’s fresh, fruity notes brighten the cheese and provide a perceived sweetness that balances the earthier notes of the cheese. The duo is light and optimistically sunny, with enough heft to be comforting during the grayer Minnesota days.
