"Cabernet sauvignon is a wonderful wine for pairing with aged goat's milk cheeses. An aged goat gouda or Providence from Goat Lady Dairy are a couple of my favorites."
"Every wine has its soft sides and its harsh sides, and a good pairing should highlight the soft sides. The soft sides of a Cabernet Sauvignon are its black fruit aromas and aromatic sweetness coming from the oak typically used to age the wine."
"Aged goat's milk cheeses work here because the salt is more concentrated, so it brings out the fruity notes like sprinkling salt on a piece of watermelon."
"Goudas are also a low-acid style of cheese. That means that they will not be as likely to bring out the harsh tannins of a cabernet sauvignon."
