Would you like some Cheese with that Wine?
Wine & Cheese Pairings Great for any Party from Wine Taster Jill Stacey and Barn Goddess Terri Nacke
 Cheese & Wine Pairing #1
The Cheese: Black Mesa Ranch Fine Herb Fresh Goat Cheese
The Wine: Goat cheese goes wonderfully with dry red wine.
“Dry” meaning a wine with a good spice and lingering finish where more flavors come to your mouth. With herbs an Italian wine is always great. Barolo, Chianti, Sangiovese but don’t’ forget Zinfandel that originated in Italy. Some labels to look for:
Amano – Primitivo (Zinfandel as it is known in Italy) ~
$12 - $14
Coltibuono Chianti Classico – clean and persistant aftertaste.
$21 - $22
Di Majo Norante – Sangiovese all organic with loads of fruit
$13 - $15
