Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Point Reyes Blue Cheese
Cab's tannin handles hard, aged cheeses with grip and depth.
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 Point Reyes Blue Cheese
Chardonnay's body matches soft and bloomy cheeses with grace.
The Rhône's most famous appellation — up to 13 grape varieties blended into something dense, warm, peppery, and unmistakable. Black cherry, garrigue, leather; built for braised lamb and aged cheese.
Why it works with Point Reyes Blue
Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Point Reyes Blue make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
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.
Why it works with Point Reyes Blue Cheese
Versatile light red that works across the cheese-board spectrum — soft, semi-hard, hard.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Fortified red from Portugal's Douro Valley — sweet, warming, and surprisingly versatile. Ruby and LBV are for everyday; Vintage and Tawny are for serious occasions. Pair with blue cheese, walnuts, or just a fire.
Why it works with Point Reyes Blue Cheese
Port with blue cheese is the dessert-table classic.
Red · Full · Dry
California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.
Why it works with Point Reyes Blue
Zinfandel brings dark fruit and grip to Point Reyes Blue — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
