When you think of the finest red wines in the world, you often are thinking of wines made with Cabernet Sauvignon. This grand grape is the basis for most of California's superb red wines as well as the predominant grape used for blending in France's famed Bourdeaux's. Flavor characteristics often include deep cherry, currant, mint and tobacco.Extra Aged Dutch Gouda: Gouda, when aged over 18 months, takes on a wonderful mix of savory and sweet, with a crystalline texture and butterscotch finish. Its big flavor and texture match up well with the characteristics of Cabernet. (7.5 oz)Piave Vecchio: This 12-month aged artisan cheese comes from Po Valley in northern Italy. It is hard with a natural rind and a sweet, salty, buttery taste. It is a wonderful cheese for snacking, and, like the Aged Gouda, has what it takes to stand up to a bold Cabernet. (7.5 oz) Green Island Blue: This bold, creamy blue crafted from rich cow’s milk in Denmark is a delight. With its velvety texture and tangy, earthy flavor, it’s perfect for crumbling over salads, pairing with honey, or savoring on its own. (8 oz) Afterglow by Blakesville Creamery: After Glow Cheese is a creamy, tangy delight made from pasteurized goat’s milk in Oregon’s lush Willamette Valley.
