Wine Pairings for Summer, Daily Edit

Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc with goat cheese and rice crackers.

 

For hosting a dinner party: Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc with goat cheese and rice crackers.
“Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc and goat cheese is my go-to wine and cheese pairing when entertaining. Unlike other New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wines, Stoneleigh has distinct grapefruit and passionfruit notes making it an ideal pairing for a tangy, mineral goat cheese.”

Perrier-Jouet Champagne with gruyere and whole wheat/buckwheat bread.

 

For a special occasion: Perrier-Jouet Champagne with gruyere and whole wheat/buckwheat bread.
“Champagne is great for any celebratory occasion and you can never go wrong pairing it with gruyere. The rich and nutty flavours of this cheese perfectly contrast the effervescence of the Perrior-Jouet Champagne.”
