We Sip and Taste, Taste and Sip, Sip and Taste….

Well, here is it.  The first post of this new and exciting business called Pairings Wine & Cheese—Artisan Selections Delivered.  The four partners have spent the past several months working on the website www.pairingswineandcheese.com, filming a video, tasting wines and cheeses, meeting and organizing, and setting up a warehouse.  Now we are ready to launch.

You might be asking yourself (or anyone who will listen) “why did they decide to do this?”  The answer is easy: there are many books, websites, and experts who will tell you that a certain type or style of cheese is best with a certain type or style of wine.  Using this approach, you would think that you ALWAYS pair a Spanish Manchego with a Spanish Alberino wine.  And while that is a safe bet, we like to step out of the box and forget the rules!

We have found over the years of enjoying cheeses with wines that sometimes the rules don’t apply.  Sometimes a Spanish Manchego pairs perfectly with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc….who knew??

So we…
