| Special Wine and Cheese Pairing | 4:30 PM | 2 hours | Wine Cellars of Annapolis & Tastings Gourmet Market present a Special Wine and Cheese Pairing Event Join us for a special pairing of delicious wines and artisinal cheeses hand-selected to match perfectly with one another. This fun and informative tasting will teach you to make your selections in the world of wine and cheese with confidence! The event is free of charge, however, space is limited so we ask that you please call or email to make your reservation. Featured Cheeses and Wines: Selles sur Cher: Selles sur Cher, the quintessential AOC-protected goat's milk cheese, hails from the goat fields near the village of Selles-sur-Cher (in the Loire valley near Orleans). The name is literally, Saddles on Cher – Cher being a river beside the town. The light dusting of ash on these small beveled-sided discs attracts beneficial mold, protecting the subtle, gentle interior of the cheese. The paste of Selles sur Cher is snowy white and the flavors mimic the terroir showing grass and limestone. As it ages, the paste will become firmer and the flavors stronger, imparting a nuttiness with a hint of citrus. Crisp, dry Sancerres pair perfectly with Selles-sur-Cher but also try with Loire Whites, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé and lighter-style Cabernet Franc. Pairs with: 2007 Patient Cottat Sauvignon Blanc Loire, France A great alternative to Sancerre at a fraction of the cost! This Sauvignon Blanc offers a fragrant nose of citric lemon zest. On the palate, this impressive value is easy-drinking and nicely balanced, presenting lemon/lime flavors, sweet and sour hints, and well-integrated acidity, leading to a racy, lemony finish. $10.99 per bottle, $131.88 per case Fleur de Maquis: Fleur du Maquis, also known as Brin d'Amour, is a delightfully mild and wonderfully textured cheese from the Island of Corsica off the coast of southern France. The name translated is "Flower of the Maquis". Maquis is a Corsican word for a hedge or a thicket where in times past villainous robbers or thugs would hide out and pounce on unsuspecting travelers. Made of sheep's milk, Fleur du Maquis is aged from 1 - 3 months and encrusted with rosemary, thyme, savory, juniper berries, and occasionally chili. When young, the cheese is mild, sweet and has a lemony taste. After some time the flavor becomes sweet, aromatic and creamy. The lovely earthy flavors of the herbs demand something similar in the wine pairing. Match it to Spanish Riojas, earthy Rhones or bold Syrahs from California. If you want to go white, try it with a Gruner Veltliner, an Albarino or German (slightly sweet) Riesling. Beautiful on a cheese board, it is a star at any party. Pairs with: 2007 Tardieu-Laurent Les Becs Fins Côtes-du-Rhône, France "The 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Bec Fin (an equal part blend of Grenache and Syrah aged in old wood) is made in a more elegant, Burgundian-like style with notes of forest floor, red cherries, black currants, and hints of pen ink, underbrush, and woodsy aromas. This well-made, medium-bodied red is ideal for drinking over the next several years. This wine is a super bargain." Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 90 points, Wine Spectator. $25.99 per bottle, $311.88 per case Bleu de Basque: Bleu de Basque is a rare gem to have here in the US. Made with sheep's milk from the Pyrenées this blue cheese will melt in your mouth with sublime hints of wildflowers and fresh grass. The sheep's milk in this cheese gives it a dimension of flavor not found in other blues. Fresh hay plays against a somewhat salty tanginess and pronounced blue veining. The texture is alternately creamy and crumbly. Pairs with: 2000 Niepoort Secundum Vintage Port Douro, Portugal “The 2000 Secundum exhibits a saturated purple color as well as great depth and volume. It is a complete port with outstanding density, high tannin, a big, beefy, chewy style, and considerable length. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.” 90 points, Robert Parker Regular Price: $79.99 per bottle, $479.94 per six-pack Sale Price: $39.99 per bottle, $239.94 per six-pack |
