It's all about the Goat Cheese.. Loire Valley Whites

BARRAMUNDAYS WINE & VINYL

Quel fromage!


Sancerre vs Vouvray



It all started with the Saracens. In the 8th century, these Arab descendants were expelled from the Loire Valley, (and from France). They left their goats. Lucky us!

As a result, we have a lovely pairing tonight. Goat cheese and Loire Valley white wine: Sancerre and Vouvray to be exact. Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre) is the penultimate pairing with funky, creamy goat cheese. However, French Chenin Blanc (Vouvray) has the full bodied flavors and aromas to stand up to this powerful cheese as well.

Tonight, it's about the pairing: that celestial, perfect combination of wine and cheese.

Saxelby's in the Essex Market: Tomme de Lay (raw goat's milk), from Lazy Lady Farm, Vt.

We will pair these wines with the vinyl stylings of DJ Ilmo, as well. All night long.

Tonight!
