Goat Cheese:
The acidic, tangy flavor of fresh cheeses pairs well with a Rosé since their delicate flavors don’t compete with each other.

Manchego:
Good matches for this nutty, hard sheep’s milk cheese are reds such as a Spanish Rioja, a fruity Merlot or a sweet wine like sherry.

Brie:
This buttery-soft French cheese is an ideal pairing for sparkling wine, a crisp white such as Sauvignon Blanc or a fruity Pinot Noir.

Sargento® Aged Gouda:
Choose a wine that stands up to the slightly intense flavor of the cheese, such as an off-dry Riesling, lighter-oaked Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon.
