White · Medium · Dry

Alsace's everyday white — Pinot Bianco's French expression, all apple, pear, and a soft mineral finish. The reliable house-wine alternative.

Alsation Pinot Blanc's body and acid balance Muenster Cheese Soufflé With Red Bell Pepper And Tomato Salad's flavor profile.

White · Medium · Dry

California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.

American Gewürztraminer's body and acid balance Muenster Cheese Soufflé With Red Bell Pepper And Tomato Salad's flavor profile.

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 Muenster Cheese

Cab's tannin handles hard, aged cheeses with grip and depth.

Chardonnay

Classic

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 Muenster Cheese

Chardonnay's body matches soft and bloomy cheeses with grace.

French Chablis

Interesting

White · Medium · Dry

Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.

French Chablis's body and acid balance Muenster Cheese Soufflé With Red Bell Pepper And Tomato Salad's flavor profile.

Pinot Noir

Classic

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 Muenster Cheese

Versatile light red that works across the cheese-board spectrum — soft, semi-hard, hard.

Port

Interesting

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 Muenster Cheese

Port with blue cheese is the dessert-table classic.
