Wine Pairing

Advice of Wine to combine

Suggest from Sommelier

Cheese generally accentuates the qualities of red wines, due to its creaminess. The present of blue cheese leads me to choose a wine with more body, such as a reserve Merlot with a lot of vanilla. It shouldn't be a very tannic wine because salty food emphasizes the tannins and the result is rather extreme.
