The first time I had Cypress Grove's Humboldt Fog goat cheese, I was silenced. It is so wonderful on it's own, spread on a hunk of crusty bread with a simple glass of red wine...
But adding to it's wonderfulness is its versatility!

San Silvestro "Dulcis" Moscato d'Asti ~ Italy
A beautiful sweet wine with a little sparkle to it. Flavors of orange blossom, fresh flowers and hints of honey make this wine finely ripe for consumption with dessert, especially Goat Cheesecake with Figs!
Undone Dry Riesling ~ Germany
A unique wine to pair being that we would normally pick a semi-dry Riesling to pair with a cheesecake, but this is really striking a fancy. The bone dry acidity cuts through the weight of the cheesecake and the floral aromas and flavors compliment the density of the dessert.
Sichel Sauternes ~ France
Certainly my favorite sweet wine, and also often regarded so by "the experts". Sauternes is uniquely sweet and terroir driven at the same time. The minerality and slight herbal tones are always surprising and wonderful. Enjoy with this wonderful cheesecake, or just sip on some when the mood strikes. (keep it in the fridge and it will stay fresh for a really long time!)
