It’s not a celebration without the bubbles! Refreshing and effervescent, sparkling wines are a great choice for enjoying with artisan cheeses like these. 

Le Colture Prosecco + Piave Vecchio: Classic flavors of pear, honeysuckle and banana cream make this prosecco pair beautifully with this firm Italian cheese reminiscent of Parmigiano-Reggiano, but with fruitier flavors and a finish of roasted almonds. 

Fantinel Ribolla Gialla + La Tur: A great alternative to Champagne at a fraction of the coast, this sparkling delight boasts floral notes that complement the vegetal flavors of this three-milk (cow, goat and sheep) soft-ripened cheese—both from Italy!

Pierre Brecht Crémant d’Alsace Brut Rosé + Brillat-Savarin: Enjoy a match made in France with this luscious combination. Incredibly food-friendly, this sparkling wine brings out the best in this luscious triple crème with flavors of mushroom, nuts and cream.

For even more pairing suggestions, just ask the wine steward or cheese specialist at your local Nugget Markets!
