Wine and Cheese Pairing #2










Okay SO, this wine and cheese pairing was a lot different than my last one.  Since this weekend there are a lot of blogs due, I had a hard time buying a lot of wine and cheese since everything is so expensive.  I bought three cheeses that I knew I would like and they were vegan mozzarella, cheddar cubes, and feta with Mediterranean seasoning.  The three wines I bought were Snoop Dog's Rosé,  Muscadine Sweet Wine, and a Sangria!! I did the pairing with my roommate, Julia, and our friend Katherine again. 

Of all the wines, I loved the Sangria the most.  Honestly, the Sangria was so sweet and it went super well with the cheddar cheese and Triscuits.  I thought that it was the sweetest wine of them all.  I have had red Sangria before, but it was really fun trying a white Sangria.  This drink did clash with the vegan mozzarella, but to be fair, so did the other two wines.

The Snoop Dog rosé was pretty good.  I like how it tasted by itself, but I was not the biggest fan of it with cheese.  I thought that it might have been the best with the feta cheese and crackers.  I even made a chicken salad with this and I thought it tasted pretty good.  Of the three wines, this was the least sweet which is not normally what happens with rosés.  

Last but not least, the sweet white wine was the BEST in terms of pairing with cheese.  It worked well with the feta and the cheddar cheese, but once again, not the vegan.  This wine was so fruity and tasted almost like apples.  I think the sangria was better since it was sweeter, but this one was a close second.
