Wine and Grilled Cheese Pairing: 2011 Weingut L. Hiedler Gruner Veltliner, 2012 Loca Linda 'Jolie Folle' Rosé, 2011 Gothic 'Nevermore' Pinot Noir

In honor of National Grilled Cheese Day we are pairing our favorite wines with grilled cheese sandwiches. It only seems natural, wine and cheese work so well together!

2011 Weingut L. Hiedler Gruner Veltliner makes a lovely addition to a Grilled Muenster Cheese Sandwich with Heirloom Tomatoes. The gorgeous floral and fruit aromas and refined acidity found in this Gruner Veltliner complement the soft, smooth flavors of Muenster Cheese.
2011 Weingut L. Hiedler Gruner Veltliner is an excellent wine to pair with spring vegetables and salads. It is a must-have-white for spring and summer!

Muenster Grilled Cheese with Heirloom Tomatoes: Spread butter on one side of both slices of bread. Lay one slice of bread butter side down. Top with one slice of Muenster Cheese, tomatoes, and remaining slice of cheese. Top with remaining slice of bread, butter side up. Grill until golden brown on each side; about 3-5 minutes.

2012 Loca Linda 'Jolie Folle' Rosé is a great companion for a Grilled Swiss Cheese and Apple sandwich. The light, fresh fruit flavors in this Rosé complement the dense, creamy texture of Swiss Cheese.
