    • Brie & Camembert

      Ivory colored, soft-bodied cheeses with rich, creamy textures and earthy tones.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A simple sparking wine such as a Moscato D'asti offers a crisp, mildly sweet complement.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        Apple or Pear Ciders offer a tart, fruit flavored complement.



    • Mascarpone

      A soft, rich, creamy cheese with a clean, sweet finish.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        The fresh fruits and acids of a Pinot Gris blend seamlessly with the cheese and refresh the palate.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A delicious Raspberry or Cherry Fruity Lambic brightens the sweetness of the cheese.



    • Muenster

      A semi-soft, whole milk cheese with a mild, sweet cream flavor and smooth texture.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A wide variety of wines work well with Muenster. Try Sauvignon Blanc for its perfect balance of fruit and acid.

      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        Pilsners, with their mild flavors and slight hoppiness, are a good match.



    • Monterey Jack

      A semi-soft cheese with a smooth, creamy texture, mild flavor and a slightly tangy finish.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        The apple, pear and citrus flavor notes of Riesling complement Monterey Jack's tangy finish.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        The nutty flavors of an easy-to-drink Nut Brown Ale complement the creamy texture of the cheese.



    • Havarti

      A creamy, buttery semi-soft cheese with a slightly acidic finish.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A bright, young Beaujolais Nouveau will delight with its fresh fruit notes and herbal aroma.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        The cocoa and coffee flavors of a mild Stout will accentuate the cream and mildly acidic flavor notes.



    • Fontina

      A whole milk cheese with a buttery texture and earthy, tart flavors.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        An "unoaked" Chardonnay is a vibrant companion for this versatile cheese.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A variety of Pilsners offer a good match with their mild flavors and slight hoppiness.



    • Swiss &
      Baby Swiss

      Vary in texture, but both have a nutty flavor.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        Savignon Blanc's bright fruit and floral notes complement the nuttiness.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A Wheat Beer (Weizen/Weiss) elevates the flavor of Swiss.



    • Gruyere

      A semi-hard cheese with the full, nutty, rich flavors of earth and grass.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        Riesling's fresh fruits and acids blend with the cheese and refresh the palate. Gruyere also pairs well with Pinot Nior.

      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        Wheat Beer works well, but a Stout or Porter with big cocoa and coffee flavors provide a more powerful flavor combination.



    • Gouda and Edam

      Cheeses with sweet cream flavor notes. Gouda is made with whole milk and Edam is made with nonfat milk, resulting in a different texture for each.


      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A buttery and full-bodied Chardonnay plays off the buttery, sweet cream texture.

      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A Nut Brown Ale complements the sweet cream flavors and texture. A creamy Stout that is not too overpowering will work as well.



    • Aged Brick

      Ivory to yellow in color with small openings. Its sweet, nutty flavor deepens and intensifies with age.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A Gewurztraminer, both sweet and spicy with a floral aroma, offers a subtle contrast.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        The bittersweet flavor notes of Bock stand up to aged brick.



    • Medium to Aged Cheddar

      Brothy to beefy in flavor with a creamy to crumbly texture.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        Many red wines are a nice complement, but a Ruby Port or Madeira offers the same great contrast that fruit brings to nuts.

      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A big, bold Stout with rich cocoa and coffee flavors stands up well to the flavor of Cheddar.



    • Provolone

      Has a few small eyeholes and ranges in color from creamy white to ivory. The flavor is very mild when young and becomes big and piquant with age.

      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        The spicy fruit flavors of Amorone or a classic Chianti match well with the full flavors of the cheese.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        An Oatmeal Stout or a Porter, rich in malt flavors, complements the nutty flavors of the cheese.



    • Mozzarella

      Smooth and elastic in body with a very delicate milky flavor.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A fresh Beaujolais, full of fruit flavors, pairs with this quiet-flavored cheese.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        The mild flavor of Pilsner complements the delicate flavor of Mozzarella.



    • Romano

      A hard, firm cheese with a big, nutty and piquant flavor profile.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        The fruitiness found in Chianti provides a playful contract to Romano.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        Apple or Pear Ciders offer a fruity, tart taste contrast.



    • Parmesan

      A hard cheese with nutty flavors and notes of salt and sweet milk.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A sweet late harvest Riesling or Vin Santo will bring out both the saltiness and sweetness.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A Scotch Ale with its nutty and hoppy flavors, contrasts with this cheese perfectly.



    • Asiago

      A hard cheese that offers a flavor combination between Cheddar and Parmesan. It is nutty with piquant notes.


      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A sweet, berry driven Merlot or a Pinot Noir contracts beautifully.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A delicious Raspberry or Cherry Fruit Lambic post a big fruit contrast to the nutty piquant cheese.



    • Farmers Cheese

      A semi-soft texture and clean, fresh milk flavor.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        Keep it clean and simple by pairing with a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.


      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        Mild Pilsners provide a simple, but enjoyable complement.



    • Gorgonzola

      A soft, creamy and mild blue-veined cheese with hints of earthiness in its finish.



      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A rich, fruit-driven Pinot Noir is a classic complement.



      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        A big Porter with its deep flavors balances the relative big flavors of Gorgonzola.



    • Blue Cheese

      A crumbly texture and is full of sharp, robust flavors.




      • Suggested Wine Pairing:

        A big and robust Port provides a contrast in flavors.



      • Suggested Beer Pairing:

        Raspberry or Cherry Fruit Lambic contrasts the full flavor of Blue cheese.
