Editorial Reviews: We adore the big, fruity, spicy and sometimes earthy Zinfandels that to us truly represent the adventurous spirit of American wine making. To complement this oftentimes powerful wine, we have selected three cheeses up to the challenge, all of which hail from the hotbed of Zinfandel, California. Fiscalini Bandaged Wrapped Cheddar Limited Edition is made from Fiscalini's own milk and aged for two and a half years on the property, this cheese was voted "Best Farmhouse Cheese" at the 2002 American Cheese Society Awards in Washington D.C. It is a wonderful example of the success of the artisan cheese movement in the US today. Rich, buttery and sharp, Fiscalini Farmstead Cheddar is a world-class cheese. Vella Special Select Dry Monterey Jack: Tom Vella began making cheese in 1931 in the Sonoma Valley of California. The company is now run by his son, Ig Vella, and is famous for its Jack cheeses. Jack cheese was created in the Gold Rush Days in Monterey, California by a Scotsman, named David Jacks. This Special Select Jack has all the same characteristics as Vella's regular Dry Jack, with its hard, pale yellow interior and sweet, nutty flavor. It is aged for a full year (as opposed to 7 months) to develop an even harder texture and more intense flavor. Goat Cheddar by Cypress Grove is a smooth, tangy, complex cheese. We find it to have a enough boldness to stand up to Zinfandel, with good body and a fantastic finish. Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value. Zinfandel not included.
