🧀🍷 #NationalWineAndCheeseDay

Across the globe, wine and cheese have long been local favorites—each region proudly pairing its unique varietals and dairy delights. In France, for instance, Brie from the Brie region pairs beautifully with Beaujolais, a red wine that complements the creamy texture of the cheese.

But don’t be afraid to go beyond tradition! Whether you're consulting a sommelier or cheesemonger, they’re trained to help you explore new flavors and develop your palate—no matter your level of expertise.

Although regional preferences may take precedence in distinct areas, don't hesitate to accept a sommelier's suggestion. Sommeliers understand a developing palate. Through experience and skill, they guide those new to wine tasting through the basics. In addition, sommeliers keep sophisticated wine lovers abridged of the latest varietals.

🍇 Why Sommeliers & Cheesemongers Matter

  • Sommeliers are masters of wine pairing. They’ll introduce you to varietals that highlight a cheese’s complexity or balance its saltiness.

  • Cheesemongers go far beyond suggesting cheese for burgers. Their palate is finely tuned to flavor, texture, and aroma trends, offering exciting matches you may not have considered.

Together, these flavor experts help us elevate simple bites into gourmet experiences.
