Red · Light · Dry
Gamay-based reds from southern Burgundy — light, fruity, food-friendly. The serious Cru bottlings (Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent) drink like Pinot Noir at half the price.
Why it works with Aged Brick Cheese
Light reds like Beaujolais pair flexibly with Aged Brick Cheese — soft tannins, bright acid, food-friendliness.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Aged Brick Cheese
Whites are often underrated with cheese — Chardonnay's lift makes Aged Brick Cheese feel less heavy.
Red · Medium · Dry
Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.
Why it works with Aged Brick Cheese
A medium red like Merlot is the safe everyday choice for Aged Brick Cheese.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Light reds like Pinot Noir pair flexibly with Aged Brick Cheese — soft tannins, bright acid, food-friendliness.
White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Aged Brick Cheese
Riesling's bright acid lifts Aged Brick Cheese cleanly — the lean white strategy.
White · Light · Dry
Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.
Why it works with Aged Brick Cheese
Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Aged Brick Cheese cleanly — the lean white strategy.
