Williamson

Wine and food pairings. Many recipes found on their YouTube channel.

Gertie gewurztraminer paired with mango ginger cheese. The wine cut through the cream to show fruits.

Tickeled pink rose, soft strawberry, bone dry rose. Paired with truffled gouda. The wine cuts through the cheese to showcase smoky and truffle flavors.

Trinity GSM paired with cheddar and truffle salt. GSM is a red blend, similar to pinot Noir, but softer tannins. The pairing cuts the salt to leave behind the buttery cheese and truffle.

The last pairing was the scandal Zin paired with bacon pepper jam on cheddar. The wine was slightly peppery and and smoky, very soft tannins but bold. The pairing cuts the pepper and brings forward the bacon, then cheese. These wines are hand pressed and separated

The last wine was the elate grange cuvee, a blend of shiraz and cab. Australian style. Paired with herb garlic balsamic jam.

Look up truffle salts when you read this again. We took home the gewurztraminer and pumpkin honey mustard. George, our server, was very knowledgeable, and was excellent at guiding us through our tasting.
