Cabot Cheddars paired with wine
No hard and fast rules apply when it comes to pairing wines, cheeses and breads - though many cheese lovers feel fine cheese calls for serious bread or premium crackers.
We agree, though we'd also agree that whatever you enjoy with your cheese and wine is what makes the perfect pairing.
12oz. White Wine
Sauvignon BlancDesigned to offer a long finish to this dry, elegant, herbaceous wine.
14oz. White Wine
ChardonnayShaped to highlight the wine's velvety, supple texture, this glass emphasizes the fruitiness and ensures a long, balanced finish.
20oz. Red Wine
Bordeaux, Cabernet, MerlotDesigned to bring out the full flavor of these complex red wines, the tulip shape is the perfect, all-purpose glass, superb for white wines, too.
22oz. Red Wine
Burgundy, Pinot NoirDesigned to highlight the rich fruit and calm the acidity, the large bowl captures the wine's aromatic nuances.
Sometimes known as the Paris Goblet, only one-third of the glass is meant to be filled, the perfect amount for savoring wine.
