About our visit here...  The Wine and Cheese Pairing...

The wines & cheeses have

been pre-selected

for us.

Mild, buttery Gruyere is balanced by the mellow fruit tones found in Whitney's White.  Asiagao is a strong, salty cheese that compliments the pineapple and citrus notes in the Semi Dry Riesling.  Rich, Smoked Gouda is paired with Pinot Noir's blackberry and smokey tones.  Creamy Fresh Mozzarella pairs well with Merlot's high tannins and bold fruits.  Sharp Cheddar is complimented by the bursting raspberry and cherry flavors of Rustic Red. 

Our Wine & Cheese Pairing

experience begins.

I now know that I love Gruyere.  The Asiago and Semi Dry Riesling pairing was surprising... the cheese is so robust and the wine so delicate.   This was a wonderful experience.

The Saratoga Winery has a Wine and Chocolate Pairing.  Eric and I want to return and sample the winery's pairings of two of our favorite things... red wine and chocolate.

What we brought home...

A bottle of Whitney's White,

a bottle of Rustic Red

We were given two wine

glasses to bring home.

Eric got two bottles of beer...

Shipyard Pumpkin Ale &

Ommegang Rare Vos.

Eric was delighted to bring home Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale.  Dave and Kathy recently wrote about Pumpkin Quads, reminding us that now is the time to explore seasonal beers.

Eric and I visited Ommegang Brewery years ago and he wanted to revisit and remember the Rare Vos.  

We went to The Saratoga Winery for their cheese pairing and went home with so much more!
