El Trigal Manchego cheese with 2004 Campion Central Coast Pinot Noir ($21). This fruity Pinot Noir has just enough oak to "take the edge off" this sheep’s-milk cheese, Randy Clement says.
A Creamy Cheese with a Zippy Wine
Fromagerie Rouzaire Fougerus cheese with 2003 Domaine Marcel Deiss Bergheim ($19). The great acidity of this Alsace Pinot Blanc "turns the volume up" on this mild cow’s-milk cheese.
A Pungent Cheese with a Sweet Wine
Ciresa Taleggio cheese with 2002 Alois Kracher Scheurebe TBA No. 5 ($75). "Taleggio is really pungent, and the sweetness of this dessert wine goes well with pungency."
