National Wine and Cheese Day is observed on July 25 of every year. On National Wine and Cheese Day, we celebrate the ideal combination, which is wine and cheese. To taste wine and cheese, take a sip of wine and take a bite of cheese, and take another sip for the left-out cheese in your mouth. It is best if you taste the wine and cheese on an empty stomach, with only bread and water on the side. Just like chocolate and peanut butter, oil and vinegar, peanut butter and jelly, drinking wine and eating cheese is one such heavenly blend. The right wine should be paired with proper cheese to get the perfect taste of the combo. There are numerous possibilities to pair wine with cheese. A few of the best pairs are Port and Bleu Cheese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Aged Gouda, Chardonnay and Gruyère, Tempranillo and Manchego, Rosé and Feta, and a lot more. Hence, celebrate the day with your favorite cheese and wine. Happy National Wine and Cheese Day!

We are closed for our annual Christmas vacation starting December 21, 2023 – January 6, 2024. We are back to regular hours starting January 9, 2024.

We are heading to Mexico this year. Feliz Navidad!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. Thank you for your continued patronage.

Merry Christmas from all of us at It’s About Wine!

May your holiday season be filled with peace, joy, and of course lots of wine.

Stay safe, stay healthy, be kind. We will see you in the new year.

We hope you are having a wonderful time with your family and friends, gorging on turkey dinner and enjoying lots of your fabulous wine.

Turkey and the side dishes of sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes with lots of butter and gravy pair well with big, flavourful wines like Chardonnay or a Gewürztraminer.

Always have Rosé on the Christmas table. It goes well with everything from turkey to the things we know everyone really loves — the huge variety of side dishes. With a Christmas spread that is loaded with platters of food more rich and buttery than the last, it is good to have something to brighten up your palate.

Yes, you can serve red wine with turkey. Serve a lighter red with moderate acidity, such as Pinot Noir, to cut through the richness. The light berry brightness of red wine for Christmas contrasts well with the heartiness of the classic menu. Some loud and bold foods like bacon-studded Brussels want intense, equally loud wines like a Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz.

Having said all that the most important thing is that you enjoy what’s in your glass!
