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.

Tempranillo Day is celebrated on the second Thursday of November every year and this year, it falls on November 14. The Spanish word ‘Temprano’ translates to ‘early,’ and Spain’s native Tempranillo grapes are called so because they are harvested early in the season. In 2011, the Tempranillo Advocates Producers and Amigos Society (TAPAS) celebrated the first Tempranillo Day with the goal of providing a way for people to add to the complexity of their wine drinking.

Celebrate with a glass of Tempranillo – plum, raspberry, and black cherry aromas and it’s fruity taste perfectly complements dishes with a hint of spice, making it a classic pairing with Spanish chorizo. Because of its low acidity, medium tannins, and savory flavor, Tempranillo wine pairs well with a wide range of salads and entrées.

To celebrate we are offering $15 off our Classic Tempranillo wine kit. Today only!
