Here are some suggestions of cheeses to pair with our wines.

• Evening Breeze with Gouda
  Gouda is a traditional, creamery, hard cheese. It is round with very smooth, yellow, waxed rind. The flavor is sweet and fruity. As time passes, the taste intensifies and becomes more complex. Mature Gouda (18 months plus) is coated in black wax which provides a stark contrast to the deep yellow interior. Gouda is considered to be one of the world's great cheeses. It is both a table cheese and a dessert cheese, excellent with fruit and wine. Gouda is now made globally in a style similar to the creation of Edam.
  Other suggestions: Monterey Jack, Colby
• Cirrus Red with Manchego
  Manchego is named for the Spanish region of La Mancha, also home of Don Quixote. This historic cheese is produced in the La Mancha region from pasteurized sheep's milk. Cheeses from Spain are commonly made from sheep's milk because most of the territory is rocky and dry, unfriendly to cows but suitable to raising goats and sheep. The abundance of wild herbs on Central Spain's grazing lands gives Manchego a special taste and aroma. Its flavor is zesty and exuberant while its texture is firm and somewhat dry.
• Temperature Rising with Provolone
  Provolone is today a whole-milk cow cheese with a smooth skin produced mainly in Northern Italy. Provolone is a semi-hard cheese with taste varying greatly from Provolone Piccante (piquant), aged minimum 4 months and with a very sharp taste, to Provolone Dolce (sweet) with a very mild taste.
  Other suggestions: Fontina, Grana Padano, Mozzarella, Parmagiano Reggiano
• Grand Vieux Chateau du Roi with Camembert
  Soft and creamy French cheese, made from unpasteurized cow’s milk. The cheese is ripened by the moulds penicillum candidia and penicillum camemberti for at least three weeks.
  Bold flavors that come out strongly when it gets to room temperature.Great with just French bread or a bold red wine.
  Other suggestions: Roquefort, Gorgonzola
