Perfect Pair
These two are practically made for each other! Sauvignon Blanc and Chevre cheese are a natural pairing because the wine's acidity cuts through the creaminess of the cheese. Some of our favorite California Chevres got a make-over! Enjoy new flavors like PsycheDillic, Sgt. Pepper, and Herbes de Humboldt. All handmade in Humboldt county, with all-natural unique ingredients. Pair these scrumptious Cypress Grove chevres with this Benziger, a beautifully crisp aromatic wine made from organically grown grapes.
