Champagne

Goats’ cheese and feta are types of young, white cheese that are typically best paired with crisp, dry white wines. Sauvignon Blanc is a classic choice for this type of pairing, but any Sauvignon Blanc can work well, regardless of where it is from. Grilled goats’ cheese can also be paired with a Rosé d’Anjou or a very light red wine. For feta cheese, try pairing with a crisp, dry Greek white wine like Moschofilero or Assyrtico. When serving feta with grilled lamb, a white wine or a fresh red can work well. Other young white cheeses, including cottage cheese, can be paired with similar types of wine. Cottage cheese, which has a slightly acidic flavor, pairs well with a crisp white wine. Fromage frais, a type of fresh cheese, is often used in desserts with fruit or in savory dishes where the other ingredients should be considered when choosing a wine to pair with it. Some top choices for pairing with young white cheeses include Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand; Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch, South Africa; and Sauvignon Blanc from the Columbia Valley in the United States.
