Inspired with our friends as Jasper Hill Farm (check out their Cheese Baller kit for the perfect match!), we’ve put together 5 wines meant for sharing and pairing.

The Wine Baller
The following are our pairing picks for each wine in the Cheese Baller set:
-
Rev 7th Addition NV – Old Westminster – Pair with Cabot Clothbound. The sweet-savory balance of the Cabot is going to crush with this Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Chambourcin blend that spent 36 months in oak barrels!
-
Sauvignon Blanc/Chardonnay – Limited Addition – Pair with Harbison. This creamy, gooey delight is begging for a creamy wine that had a good amount of malo and this Sauv Blanc/Chard blend not only fits the bill but adds a lovely tropical notes that is to die for with this cheese!
-
Pet-Nat PRS – Vivanterre – Pair with Bayley Hazen Blue. I’m always looking for some residual sugar for my blue cheeses, since dessert wines are always my favorite pairing here! But, another great direction is a bit of RS AND bubbles! This Vivanterre pet-nat is perfect on both fronts.
-
Weissburgunder Trocken – Seehof – Pair with Whitney. This is a perfect raclette cheese which makes me want to put it with Alpine wines like this Weissburgunder!
- Juicy – Vinyes Tortuga – Pair with Willoughby. This cheese is screaming for juicy red carbonic goodness and this wine perfectly delivers on all fronts!
