One of our favorite pastimes is food shopping.
We don't usually make a shopping list: we do this more for surprise or new discovery.
Of course it sometimes results in disappointment, but at least it is something new!
This is Spanish cheese we found during the shopping. Something new. I'd never seen this cheese before.
The white cheese on the left is the Goat milk cheese called Nevat.
This fat round shape cheese is from Cataluna.
Soft, lightly milky delicate flavor. I liked this cheese very much!
So today's pastime ended with positive result. Good.
The yellow color cheese is cow cheese from Washington state, called Sleeping Beauty!
JC opened a bottle of wine for this cheese and gave me as blind.
High acid, medium-bodied, lime, grapefruit, white flower, green bell pepper.
My conclusion was Sauvignon Blanc from Loir.
The answer was: Regis Minet Pouilly Fume 2014
I wish I could have narrowed down my conclusion, but with my experience, which is none, I guess I did good.
It was great pairing: the wine didn't overpower the delicate flavor of cheese, so I could enjoy both wine and cheese.
