Sauternes

“Blue cheese can be divisive, but if you have it with the right wine the pairing can be life-changing. Sauternes is always a superb choice for blue cheeses. If you've never had a proper Sauternes, spend the money and buy a great one. Château Suduiraut's 2010 half bottle is at the right, harmonious moment. It's voluptuous, spicy, powerful, rich and roasted with just the right amount of sweetness to counter-balance the salty, tangy notes of blue cheese. Pour this with any blue made from any kind of milk (sheep, cow, goat, or a combination) as your go-to and you'll never be wrong. Also? Try Sauternes with your Sunday roast chicken. Get the skin crisp, pair it with sautéed or oven-roasted mushrooms and veg, and let the fireworks fly.”
