Wine/Cheese Pairing 2
This last week I traveled back home to Texas to spend the holiday with my family. My grandfather is a wine drinker so I figured what better way to spend some time with him than a few wine tastings and a wine cheese pairing. My two previous posts were our wine tastings, which were fun to enjoy with someone who knows more about wine than myself. When we sat down to do this pairing, my mom decided to join us!

My grandfather and I both noticed this, as it was not what we expected. Although you could smell the alcohol, the wine was very fruity to the taste. At first, it tasted medium bodied and I anticipated the little spice and kick that would come from a more bodied red wine. But as all the flavors kicked in, it mellowed out to a lighter, sweeter, and more fruity wine. Ruffino Riserva Ducale 2013 Chianti Classico For our next wine
