Barrie Lynn - The Cheese Impresario
The source of ingredients is paramount to making great cheese and great wine. Cows fed on fresh, organic grasses, flowers and herbs produce amazing milk that, in turn, helps to create award winning, beautiful cheeses. The same goes with wine and the grapes that are grown to make it. At Frey Vineyards they take a holistic approach to growing grapes and making wine. All of their grapes are grown either organically or biodynamically and the fruits of their labors are apparent.
Find out how Shaun Phillips, star linebacker for the NFL's San Diego Chargers, became a cheese connoisseur as he and Barrie Lynn pair Frey Vineyards Organic Chardonnay with Gruyère.
Frey Vineyard's Cabernet Sauvignon is filled with wonderful rich flavors of dark cherry and berries. It would be perfect matched with chocolate. But, Cheese Rules is about cheese! Barrie Lynn - The Cheese Impresario, has chosen a robust aged cheddar to pair with this delicious organic wine.
There are so many goat cheeses out in the market today, we had to make a second episode to include a delicious goat cheddar from cheese maker Sid Cook at Carr Valley Cheese paired with Frey Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc.
Goat cheese and Frey Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc is a natural pairing. The acidity in the organically produced wine cut through the creamy freshness of the goat cheese and is a relationship made in heaven.
Pairing spirits with cheese can be a divine experience. Especially when you are pairing a unique and rare spirit, such as Del Maguey Mezcal, with a hand crafted cheese like Sartori Dolcina Gorgonzola. To the Moon!
