2. 2014 Dry Riesling with Gorwydd Caerphilly<\/h2>\n

Claiborne & Churchill Dry Riesling<\/a>, one of our most popular wines, is a surprising and satisfying complement to this raw cow Caerphilly from Somerset, England. Caerphilly is a mold-ripened, cow\u2019s milk cheese traditionally eaten for lunch in old times by Welsh coal miners. Originating in Wales, it is now made primarily in Somerset, England. This cheese has rich, earthy, savory, and creamy flavors and a moist and slightly crumbling texture.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact: It\u2019s Alive!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this cheese, make sure you taste the rind. You\u2019ll note that the cheese appears to have a layered, varicolored appearance. In this semi-aged cheese, these distinctions in appearance and flavor come from proteolysis – the process by which proteins, under the rind, are broken down by enzymes. This happens from the outside in, giving the rind its musty, earthy flavor, and the cream just beneath rind an oozy, mushroomy quality.<\/p>\n

\"Cheese<\/a><\/p>\n

3. 2014 Pinot Gris with L\u2019Etivaz<\/h2>\n

The ideal pairing for our full-bodied, creamy-textured Pinot Gris<\/a>, this unpasteurized cow\u2019s milk cheese from Switzerland is not to be confused with \u201cswiss cheese\u201d (the bland one with the holes). This alpine cheese is famous for its smooth, creamy texture and robust flavor, achievable only in the alps, where it is made when the alpine cows are grazing on flowers in high, summer pastures. Today, L\u2019Etivaz is still made in the old style, stirred in copper cauldrons over wood fires on the mountainside!<\/p>\n

New Appellation, Old Style<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 1930s, when the Swiss government pushed through new regulations on the production of Gruy\u00e8re, several cheesemaking families broke away to preserve their traditions. Thus, we see the birth of L\u2019Etivaz, a cheese named for the Swiss village where the co-op originated. In 1999, L\u2019Etivaz was given the distinction of being an Appellation d\u2019Origine Prot\u00e9g\u00e9, a status previously only granted to wine regions.<\/p>\n
