Cheeses With White Wine
White wines are flexible partners for many cheeses. Here are three mild options that make for good sipping.
Camembert
An authentic Camembert originally born centuries ago in Normandy. From an area known for it's fertile soil covered in grass and apple trees, some people claim to taste a hint of these beneath the creamy suppleness. Serve at room temperature with a baguette and fruit. 8 ounces.

Try with Sauvignon Blancs from the Loire region or oakey California Chardonnays
Light Artisan goat cheese. Chestnut tree leaves are used as a wrap to acknowledge the terrain where the goats live. Texture is smooth and moist, flavor mild though still goaty with a fresh ground-nut finish. Di Bruno has been selecting the finest gourmet specialties for 60 years. 4 oz.

Young goat cheeses pair excellently with young whites like chilled Pinot Grigio
