For Zinfandel, cheese such as Fiscalini Bandaged Wrapped Cheddar, Vella Special Select Dry Monterey Jack and Moulin Bleu Goat Cheese are considered to be perfect. Sauvignon Blanc is thought to be best accompanied by Buche de Chevre, Pecorino Toscano, and Fontina Val d'Aosta and Italian cheese.

One can even gift a variety of cheese boards to wine lovers, as they can be of much use to those who prefer to have some kind of cheese with their wines. Cheese boards are available in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Many cheese boards also come with special cheese knives which are made as per the design or color of the board itself.

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:02:23 PST
The 2003 Ledson Russian River Valley Old Vine Zinfandel is an example of everything this much-maligned grape is capable of producing. Many people stay away from Zinfandel because of the terrible “White Zin” craze of a decade or two ago. That is a shame, and one glass of this wine shows why.
