Wine Picks

I will continue to pass on the names and descriptions of those wines I particularly enjoy! Until you, my customers, suggest other wines to list as “must tries”.

Some are at low price points but, the majority, are not! When I go to a wine tasting I’m not lining up for the less expensive wine! Call me crazy but it is just the way I am!

Also, I’d like to take credit for the detailed tasting descriptions but I have to confess they are complements of the winemakers themselves!

Podere San Cristoforo 2019, Amaranto

Tasting Notes:
An incredibly expressive and refined Sangiovese. It offers up red berry fruit, with scents of wild flowers, tobacco, mint, spice and incense.

Cheese Pairings:
This wine works especially well with aged Asiago and Pecorino, Grand Padano, Tomme, Comté or Louis d’Or.

Painted Rock Rosé

Tasting Notes:
This wine is 51% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdo, 11% Cabernet Franc and 11% Malbec. Ripe strawberry, cranberry, rhubarb and red currant flavours.

Cheese Pairings:
Try this one with Etorki, Landana, D’affinoise, Manchego, or Petite Basque

If you have a great wine that you would like to share with other Cheese Man customers email your favourite picks to info@cheeseman.ca and I’ll do my best to get them posted on the website. Also be sure to provide where you purchased the wine, the approximate price, and what cheese it goes great with!
