Wine and cheese


So today for wine and cheese night Steve and I had the Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon with two cheeses: a welsh cheddar called Collier's and a Dutch goat cheese called Cablanca.  I decided that Sweetie and I should pick three words for each to describe them, and this is what we came up with.  I think it's clear I don't follow rules well.





My words:
Wine-- Fruity, earthy, chocolatey, superhero  (Similar to the sam adams' special edition chocolate cherry bock)

Cablanca--buttery, mildly goaty, corningware (This refers to the rind

Collier's--tangy, smooth, meltier cheddar, sweaty, (3 out of 10 in the nibly bits department)



Sweetie's words
Wine-- cool (i.e. not warm), mild, cherry
Collier's -- slightly bumpy, mild, bitumonous
Cablanca-- soft and creamy, square pupiled
If you think 'corningware' was an odd choice, you should take a peek at the rind.  The rind peeled off really easy, though and both cheeses were really good.  I wish we could get smaller portions like when we went to Giant Eagle Market District, though.  There isn't even a Whole Foods in town.  So lame.



I wanted to document the color of the wine, too.  It was a nice dark red.
