Some pairings are worth the fuss and some are folklore. These are the ones we come back to.

A salty blue against something sweet and fortified. A washed rind with a crisp Alpine white rather than a heavy red. Aged Comté with an orange wine. Fresh goat's cheese with a Loire Sauvignon, which is the classic for good reason. Each match here has been tasted by our team rather than pulled from a chart.

Browse wines for cheese if you want to start from the bottle, or the full cheese counter if you would rather start with the cheese.
