HOUSTON – We’re celebrating National Wine and Cheese Day today with 13 Celsius in Midtown!
They’re known for their delicious collection of wines and cheeses -- and they have paired up with the Houston Dairymaids to do a wine and cheese flight for only $25 today -- including an award-winning cheese that they say will knock your socks off.
The Houston Dairymaids have a special Blue Cheese that recently won a Super Gold Medal at the World Cheese Awards, and is considered “The World’s BEST Cheese.”
Here are the three cheeses and three wines being featured today at 13 Celsius:
Silver Lining Goat Cheese – Pure Luck Creamery in Dripping Springs, TX
Dense, slice-able fresh Chèvre with a dusting of ash to give it a lovely grey outside.
(Paired with a Sauvignon Blanc)
6 Year Aged Cheddar – Car Valley Cheese Company in La Valle, WI
Handcrafted in small vats by cheese makers with more than 100 years experience and aged 6 years. It has the “crunch” that you look for in aged cheddar and crumbles divinely.
(Paired with a summer red)
Bluehorn Blue Cheese – Rogue Creamery in Central Point, Oregon
A 2022 World Cheese Awards SuperGold medal Winner, placing among the top 96 cheeses in the world! After extended cave-aging, each wheel of Bluehorn blue cheese is soaked in an organic Syrah wine from Troon Vineyard. The result is a cheese with distinctive berry notes and a brown butter finish- in addition to a subtle rose blush coloring on the rind. This cheese is decadent and has a distinctive appearance.
