The first wine we had with the Havarti cheese was called Rubus. This red wine had a red maroon color and smelled like cherries and it was very fruity. It was bubbly with no distinct flavors. It tasted like seltzer. The cheese was really good. The flavor of the cheese enhanced with the wine. The flavor tasted a lot more fruity and it paired well together. The cheese helped bring out the flavor of the wine.
The next wine we tried was Mars and Venus with New Zealander cheese. The wine smelled like garbage and rotten eggs. It had a clear yellow color. It tasted watery with lemons and green apples. The cheese was a little dull with this wine. The flavor of the wine was too strong and overcame the taste of the cheese. I liked the first combo better then this one. Everyone else I was with thought this was a good combo.
The final wine we tried was actually a homemade wine that I made. I made it out of Welch's Juice and took out 3 quarters of the juice, filled it with 1 and a half cups of sugar, put the wine yeast in, put the stopper on and waited for 4 weeks. This wine tasted really really strong. It smelled like carbonated juice. It tasted like juicy juice but you could taste how strong it was. It had a maroon milky color. The cheese tasted good with the wine. It brought out the taste of the wine. We also tried mixing sausage in with the cheese and wine and I thought this was a great mix. The garlic in the cheese really added a lot of flavor.
