Château La Freynelle Blanc + Bellwether Farms Basket Ricotta: A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle, this dry white Bordeaux boasts clean, bright flavors and aromatics that shine when paired with the creamy, light and fluffy goodness of this fresh, 100% Jersey cow whole milk ricotta.

Kunde Chardonnay + Fiscalini Bandage Wrapped Cheddar: This well-balanced, medium-bodied white wine hails from Sonoma and is complemented by this local farmstead raw milk cheddar with intensely complex buttery and grassy flavors and a finish reminiscent of a roast’s caramelized edges.

Benziger Sauvignon Blanc + Skyhill Farms Chèvre: This crisp, dry white wine is sustainably grown and delicious when enjoyed in combination with the fluffy texture and bright citrusy flavor of this fresh artisan goat cheese handmade locally in Napa Valley.

La Marca Prosecco + Marin French Cheese Supreme Extra Crème Brie: With incredible flavor and versatility, this low-alcohol, lightly sparkling white wine is a fantastic companion of soft cheeses like this local, small batch American original that’s made just for us, and has a rich buttery taste and a texture like whipped cream.

Château de Campuget Rosé + Valley Ford Estero Gold: This superb dry rosé is imported from a historic winery in southern France and is a perfect partner for the grassy, fruity notes and caramel, nutty overtones of this creamy, raw fontina-style cheese made locally with 100% Jersey Cow milk.

Muriel Rioja Reserva + Vella Cheese Co. Dry Monterey Jack: A 90-point wine (Wine Spectator), this dry Spanish red made from the Tempranillo grape pairs beautifully with cured cheese like the local, aged Dry Monterey Jack with its nutty, brown butter flavors and distinctive black pepper and cocoa rind.
