Details
Vintage: 2019
Region: Languedoc, France

This wine can show off it's ripe strawberry and plum aromas and tart cranberry flavors with little hints of savory herbs. Like a light bodied CA zinfandel but with rusticity and wilderness to the nose.
Pairing Recommendations
Gouda cheese is made from cow's milk and has a smooth, creamy texture with a mild, slightly nutty flavor. La Galiniere Carignan is known for its rich, bold, and fruity flavors, which can stand up to the strong taste of aged Gouda cheese.
wine & cheese tasting no.3
La Galinière Merlot + Goat
Details
Vintage: 2019
Region: Languedoc, France
Grapes: 100% Merlot
Tasting Notes
Merlot gets a bad rap but for no good reason. Arguably the most blue-flavored of French red wines, the merlot grown here is juicy and evocative of finger staining backyard bramble bushes. Acai, currant and soft sweet sage hints round out this very pleasant red wine.
Pairing Recommendation
Goat Cheese has tangy and slightly sour flavors that can be a great match for the fruitiness of Merlot. The wine's acidity can cut through the cheese's creaminess and bring out its flavors.
wine & cheese tasting no.4
Alegra Tempranillo + Parmigiano-Reggiano
Details
Vintage: 2019
Region: DO Ribera del Duero, Spain
Tasting Notes
Mature red fruits with a hint of spicy notes,

Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese is an Italian cheese that has a nutty and savory flavor. It pairs well with Tempranillo because its bold and complex flavors can balance the wine's boldness and bring out its fruity notes.
