May 12, 2018 Wine on the Rock Menu

Rather than having prepared foods for this event, we went with specialty cheeses from our partner, Crimson Cove Smoked Specialties.

Smoked Pepper Jack Cheese,
paired with our 2017 Müller Thurgau:
The bright acidity was well matched with the very lightly smoked spicy cheese.
Smoked & Salted Almonds,
paired with our 2016 Siegerrebe:
Here the saltiness was perhaps a bit much for the lightly musky fruit.
Smoke Cheddar Cheese,
paired with our 2015 Syrah:
The light oak on the wine was an excellent pairing for the sharper cheese, and both really let the plum & peppercorn notes stand out.
