Grazing Theory

🍷 Cheers to red wine weather in Temecula!

Stop in for a complimentary cheese + wine tasting at the shop. We will be rotating the tasting on a weekly basis.

This week we are tasting Mission and Midnight Moon goat milk cheese.

“Mission” is described by winemaker Joseph Wiens as a “nice weekday table wine”. Imagine pouring this wine, slightly chilled and sharing it is a 100% Old Vine Mission on the Pechanga Reservation. This is an incredible old vineyard with 100+ year old vines. It was aged for 27 months in neutral French Oak. This wine is a very food friendly option. Think about a family pasta/pizza night!

Midnight Moon is an aged goat milk cheese made exclusively for Cypress Grove in Holland, and won “Best of Class” in the World Championship Cheese Contest in 2010 and 2020.

Aged six months or more, Midnight Moon is a blushing, ivory-colored goat cheese that’s nutty and brown buttery up front with a long caramel finish. Similar to a Gouda, as Midnight Moon ages, protein crystals form and lend a slight crunch to the otherwise dense and smooth cheese.

Know someone who (gasp!) doesn’t like goat cheese? Encourage them to dip their toes back in the water with our nutty cheese, Midnight Moon, which has been known to convert even the staunchest of goat cheese critics.

The rich, nutty flavors of the cheese paired with the fruity notes of the wine create a harmonious tasting experience that you won’t want to miss. The cheese enhances the fruitiness of the wine and tames the acid just a touch!

See you soon!

September 2024 Release

2023 Oak Farm Grenache Rosé
paired with
French Garlic & Herb Goat Cheese

The wine’s acidity will cut through the creaminess of the cheese, while the fruity notes complement the garlic and herbs, making each bite and sip a balanced experience. Enjoy your pairing!

Grenache Rosé:
Color: Pale pink to salmon, sometimes with a slightly orange hue.
Aroma: Fresh and inviting, with aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon. You might also detect hints of citrus zest, like grapefruit or lemon, along with subtle floral notes like rose petals or orange blossom.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is light to medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing acidity. The red fruit flavors are prominent, often accompanied by a slight minerality or a touch of spice. Some Grenache Rosés might have a gentle hint of herbal notes, depending on the terroir.
Finish: Typically clean and dry, with lingering notes of berry and citrus, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next bite.

French Garlic and Herb Cheese:
Appearance: Soft and creamy, often with a pale yellow or white color, speckled with green herbs.
Aroma: Rich and savory, with a strong garlic presence that’s balanced by the fresh, earthy notes of herbs like parsley, chives, and thyme.
Texture: Smooth and spreadable, with a rich, creamy mouthfeel that melts easily on the palate.
Flavor: The garlic is the star here, but it’s well-balanced by the tangy creaminess of the cheese and the fresh, slightly grassy flavors of the herbs. The garlic gives it a savory depth, while the herbs add freshness and complexity.
Pairing Interaction:
Balance: The bright acidity of the Grenache Rosé contrasts beautifully with the rich creaminess of the cheese, preventing the palate from becoming overwhelmed by the fat content.
Flavor Harmony: The red fruit notes in the wine complement the garlic's savory depth and the herbaceous qualities of the cheese, creating a delightful contrast between sweet and savory.
Finish: The wine's clean, crisp finish helps to cleanse the palate after each bite, while the lingering herbal notes from the cheese may bring out more subtle flavors in the wine, like minerality or spice.

This pairing works because the wine enhances the cheese's flavors without overpowering them, and the cheese brings out the more nuanced aspects of the wine, making each taste more enjoyable.
