The wine and cheese pairings we select aren’t just picked out of thin air. We work diligently to find the perfect combinations before we share our wine and cheese pairings with the world.

First, we start with wine. But not just any wine. We select our wines based on quality and the desire to turn you on to United States and international wines you may not normally try. We then connect with our cheese supplier, one of the most respected artisan cheese vendors in the country. The knowledgeable and experienced people there select a broad assortment of cheeses they think will match the wines we’ve chosen. We then meet to taste the selections together.

Does Pairings Wine & Cheese take a traditional approach to wine and cheese pairing? No, that’s not how we do it. Because artisan cheeses offer different and more intense flavors, textures and aromas than their commercial counterparts, all traditional perceptions of pairing wine and cheese are tossed out and we let the wine and cheese do the talking.

As we taste the wine and cheese pairings, we evaluate how the wine tastes with the cheese, how the cheese tastes with the wine, and how they enhance and elevate each other. Some combinations decrease the flavors. Some cheese shut down the wine and some wines shut down the cheese. We taste and sip, sip and taste. The best cheese and wine pairing brings smiles to our faces.

By consensus, we agree on the perfect cheese and wine pairings and then share our selections with wine and cheese lovers like you.
