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!

Jeio NV Valdobbiadene Prosecco Brut Superiore

Tasting Notes:
The Glera grape is especially rich in malic acid, making the final wine more dynamic and evolved. Glera grapes provide the wines with complex aromas, refreshing acidity, and a distinctive minerality.

Cheese Pairings:
This wine works especially well with this month’s specials, as well as Piavé Vecchio, St Angel triple cream brie, mild Goat Gouda and P’tit Basque.

Gold Hill 2018 Grand Vin

Tasting Notes:
The wine is a big, robust blend with complex flavours and aromas of spice, floral, black currant, cherry, anise and hints of cocoa and vanilla. This full-bodied red has firm, but soft tannins with a smooth and creamy finish and long-lingering notes of tobacco, vanilla and berries.

Cheese Pairings:
This Bordeaux pairs well with aged and hard cheeses such as Extra aged Gouda, Kaltbach Chevre, Midnight Moon, 10 year old cheddar, Avonlea Cloth Bound Cheddar and 48 month Parmesan just to name a few.

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!
