Cheese of the Month & Wine Pairing: December - Friday Night Cheese Dinner!

In Pursuit of Cheese: This is the mantra of the Cheese of the Month Club!

And this month is special! The Valdeon blue cheese screams gnocchi and steak to me! And since we are running out of days in December I thought a Friday night cheese party would be perfect!

Join us as we explore three rare cheeses paired with three wines and a welcome sparkling. Wine will not be known before the event but expect a big red with the blue and the steak! Cheese tasting notes will be paired with the most appropriate wine to accompany it.

I have joined the Rare Cheese of the Month Club. Additional cheese info and background will be provided the night of the event.

Featured Cheeses - December 2025

Ubriaco Pinot Rose

• Country:Italy
• Cheese Texture / Type:Semi-soft
• Milk Type:Cow
• Cheese Age:6-9 months

This Italian, semi-soft, cow’s milk cheese simply aches to be seen as well as eaten. The Rosé gives this cheese a distinctive violet-colored rind. As you would expect, it has a mild pleasant floral aroma. The rosé notes also translate into its mild, fruity and sweet in flavor profile, one that lacks the sharp bite that some alcohol-soaked wines present. Read More
