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!


Shea Wine Cellars Estate Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:
The Estate Pinot Noir is a wonderful example of the Shea Vineyard in the Willamette Valley. It has a nose of black cherries, plum and red currants. Juicy and layered with savory flavours and smooth tannins.

Cheese Pairings:
This wine works especially well with Délice de Bourgogne, Camembert, Brie as well as Fontina, Taleggio, and Gruyere.

This wine is available at Everything Wine.

Phantom Creek Estates Viognier

Tasting Notes:
The initial aroma is of bright orchard fruits, especially apricots. Then you will get honeysuckle and the smell of ginger and almond.

Cheese Pairings:
Try this one with any of our multitude of sheep or goat cheeses.

This wine is available at Everything Wine.


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!
