Our cheese selections are provided by Georgia's own, Sweet Grass Dairy

Georgia Gouda (½ lb piece) $6.99 - This cheese has a little tart, tangy flavor at first which slowly fades to a smooth, sweet finish. The Georgia Gouda can be used for a number of applications. The balanced flavors of this cheese would compliment a Chenin Blanc or a Sauvignon Blanc nicely. The Chenin Blanc would enhance the sweet characteristics of the Georgia Gouda, and the Sauvignon Blanc would bring out the tartness also found in this cheese. For red wine drinkers, a Cotes du Rhone with our Georgia Gouda is a match made in heaven (try Le Sec Cuvee Beaumes Cotes du Rhone only $14.99, and everyone just loves this pleasant little red).

Holly Springs (½ lb piece) $6.99 - The combined flavors of nuttiness and sweetness enable this cheese to have an intricate taste. The texture is very soft at 60 days and gradually becomes harder over time. This sweet, aged goat cheese would pair best with a Vouvray (Chateau Solvingy Vouvray is a great little off dry wine and would pair well at only $11.99), or try a nice Pinot Blanc. The cheese would enhance the sweetness first tasted with these wines. The dry finish would cleanse the palate, making way for another bite of Holly Springs.

Thomasville Tomme (½ lb piece) $6.99- Golden yellow color with mellow and buttery characteristics. This cheese just melts in your mouth and seems to be a real party pleaser. The mild taste of the Tomme pairs well with a rich and creamy Chardonnay like Lawson's Ranch ($9.99), or a light bodied red Burgundy (Chateau du Cray Cotes Chalonnaise for only $15.99).

Myrtlewood (½ lb piece) $6.99 - The Myrtlewood is bright yellow in color with a dry, complex taste and hard texture. The concentrated flavors help this cheese to be very food and wine friendly. This aged cow cheese has an intense flavor with a firm texture. This cheese needs a big Zinfandel or a Ruby Port to magnify the essence of our oldest cow's milk cheese.  (Try Earthquake Zinfandel at $29.99, or Calem Ruby Port at a price of only $13.99)

Green Hill (½ lb piece) $6.99 - This cheese has a buttery taste and soft, creamy texture with a thin to medium rind. Pleasant acidity and very sleek finish. This cheese really showcases great milk from pasture grazed cows. Full-bodied white wines would pair well with our Green Hill. A Viognier from Miner ($19.99) or Pommery Champagne ($42.99) would be delightful. If you like red wine, a good match would be a light bodied red.
