I was just going through old papers that are sitting on my desk and I found the wine notes from one of the wine and cheese pairing classes that I attended at Whole Foods.
The most memorable pairing that night was the 2004 Domaine Carneros Brut Cuvée and a triple cream brie. The cuvée was 61% pinor noir, 37% chardonnay, and 2% pinot blanc. According to the tasting notes, it has "fruit aromas of pears, baked apples, and citrus peel enhanced with hints of caramel, spice...very mouth-filling and with a long creamy finish."
The cuvée was impressive on its own, but paired with the triple-cream brie we had, all the flavored played off of each other amazingly. The creaminess of the wine compliments a smooth brie well and I look forward to trying this pairing again.
