I'm Patrick Cappiello from Rebelle restaurant

Everyone knows wine and cheese goes together

but there are a few rules that I think you can follow

that will make your wine and cheese experience even better.

Most cheese boards, you're going to have a goat cheese,

a cheddar cheese, a washed rind cheese, a blue cheese,

This is kind of the 101 of cheeseboard creation

I think there's a wine that's a good companion.

there's really no one wine that goes with everything.

So, you really need to look at each cheese individually

to see the best wine to put next to that particular cheese.

The first cheese we're going to talk about

I think sauvignon blanc is really the best pairing.

Sauvignon blanc that you find in areas like Loire Valley,

that really makes it a good companion for chevre cheese.

Really having that acid to help cut through

the fattiness and the creaminess of the goat cheese

The next cheese that we're going to look at

For me, I really like cheddar cheese and beer

and I think that there's a really interesting companionship

that happens when you do beer and cheddar cheese

and it's a pretty common thing to do as well.

But if you want to look at wine to work with cheddar cheese

For me, something like champagne is perfect.

which are naturally made sparkling wines.

Even cider works really well with cheddar cheese.

The fact that is has a rich, creamy texture,

and I think the fattiness can benefit from bubbles.

Bubbles and cheddar, for me, that's really a great pairing

So the next cheese we're going to look at is a firm cheese.

which is a cheese that comes from the Jura in France,

it can have a really nutty flavor profile

This is an example of a wine that comes from the Jura

and it's a more oxidized style of white wine,

similar to like a Sherry or a skin fermented white wine.

white wines that have more of a red wine weight to them

And I think additionally, skin fermented white wines

would also be great pairings for firm cheeses.

we have a wine from the Burgundy region in France

For soft cheeses, I think you can either use

So, Pinot Noir is a really awesome pairing with this.

It's grown in the Burgundy region of France

that is from the same area as the cheese comes from

I think you need a subtle wine like Pinot Noir.

and help enhance the flavors of that cheese.

The last cheese that we have is a blue cheese

and for me, the classing pairing for blue cheese is port.

So, ports are rich, full bodied red wines,

but wines that often have a bit of sweetness.
