A classic pairing – Riesling and blue cheese

The latest fantastic review of our 2007 Selenium Vin De glaciere by Wine and Spirit (92 points and one of the best Riesling in america), prompted me to open a bottle of this divine beverage last week end. It was a bit of a last minute thought but I had a piece of Fourme d’Ambert in the refrigerator (this is a great blue cheese if you do not know it) and this sounded like the right opportunity to rediscover an old classic pairing. The fourme I’ve unwrapped was not old so it was quite creamy and soft. The pairing was just superb, I highly recommend this classic pairing if you want to impress your friends and show them why pairing food with the right wine is a life changing experience.
