If you would like to pair with cheese, Sebastian suggests the following cheeses, which can be found at Olsson's Fine Foods in Princeton.
1. Fromager D' Affinois - France. This is a very good Double cream and soft cheese style based on pasteurized Cow milk. Suggested to pair with the white: Amalaya Torrontes 2018.

3. Ossau- Iraty- Basque Country. This is a firm and mild cheese based on sheep milk from the Pyrenees. Slightly sweet with nutty and herbal flavors. Ideal pairing with A Lisa Malbec 2018.
