Have fun with your pairings and don't take it too seriously! That said, the right pairing can elevate flavors to new heights, so it’s worth keeping a few things in mind when choosing what works best together. Now, let's dive into our favorite 90+ Cellars wines and Cabot Cheese pairings!
Cabot Pepper Jack Natural Cheese Paired with Lot 50 Prosecco
Lot 50 Prosecco's crisp, ripe fruit and flavor intensity balances the heat and measures up to the peppery flavors of the Pepper Jack. Spicy cheeses also like sweet, so if you’re looking for another wine option, Lot 66 Riesling would also pair nicely.
Cabot Monterey Jack Cheese Paired with Lot 152 Chardonnay
A creamy mild cheese calls for a smooth and mellow white wine. Lot 152 Chardonnay has an elegant creamy texture and a tangy finish that pairs up perfectly with Cabot’s Monterey Jack cheese.
Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar Cheese Paired with Lot 179 Pinot Noir
Lot 179 Pinot Noir is a medium-bodied red with vibrant fruit and a soft texture that pairs perfectly with flavorful Vermont cheddar. Its subtle earthy undertones complement the classic tasting notes of this naturally aged cheese.
Cabot Vermont Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese Paired with Lot 225 Cabernet Sauvignon
Aged cheeses can be paired with more robustly textured and flavorful wines like Lot 225 Cabernet Sauvignon. Full body and tannin matches nicely with the bold flavor of Seriously Sharp Cheddar and other longer aged cheeses.
Cabot Vermont Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese Paired with Lot 75 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
Lot 75 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir can measure up to the heft of a naturally aged cheese. The intense flavors of the cheese also pair well with the persistency of the Pinot Noir’s dark cherry flavors.
