\"Q\"<\/a><\/div>\n
I\u2019m planning a \u201cStinky Cheese Only\u201d party with several washed rinds, such as Limburger, and I\u2019m wondering, what wine should I serve?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"A\"<\/a><\/div>\n
When pairing stinky cheese, I like to go with off-dry white wines with some richness. For instance, Alsatian gew\u00fcrztraminer is a classic accompaniment to Muenster, which is a traditional washed-rind cow\u2019s milk cheese from the same region. It works because the richness of the wine matches that of the cheese. The wine\u2019s slight sweetness offsets any bitterness in the cheese\u2019s rind and balances the assertiveness of its flavor. For the same reasons, I like a good Vouvray or an off-dry American chenin blanc with washed rinds. Rieslings can work, but not as successfully because of their lighter-bodied style.<\/p>\n

When choosing a red wine, look for something with lots of ripe fruit and body but not-so-aggressive tannins. I often go with either Australian Shiraz, especially from South Australia\u2019s Barossa Valley, a jammy zinfandel, or a fruit-driven Grenache. Sweet dessert wines are also a good bet. Most sommeliers know that just about any dessert wine will do well with a broad range of cheeses. For an amazing experience try a late-harvest Condrieu or Quarts de Chaume with your stinky. And for those that prefer beer, look to your Trappist-style triples and quads. The cheeses made by the Trappist monks have always been washed rinds, and their beers go together with them perfectly. There is a reason the monks love the funk!<\/p><\/div>\n
