WHITE


SMOKED ORIGINAL


With its freshness and acidity, white wine
is ideal to serve with cheese—and it’s
got a palate-pleasing match in this Chao
selection. This smooth, plant-based cheese
has got a sharp bite and smoky fi nish, plus
the caramel undertones often found in a
Gouda cheese, so look for lightly-oaked
Chardonnays, o -dry Rieslings or Rhône-
style white blends to balance the cheese’s
sweet-saltiness. Together, the combo works
to get taste buds ready for the meal ahead.

ROSÉ
CREAMY ORIGINAL
Not just a summer drink anymore, rosé
wines can be either juicy and fruity or crisp,
tart, and dry. Look for the latter styles to
pair with this signature Field Roast’s Chao
Creamery selection, which boasts a buttery,
umami-forward fl avor and deliciously
creamy (and melt-able) texture. The crisp
acidity of a dry rosé will balance the savory
kick of the plant-based cheese, creating a
mouth-watering pairing that's perfect for
any season.

RED
TOMATO CAYENNE
Toast the holidays with a dairy-free cheese
that more than holds its own with the heft
of a red. Featuring hints of tomato, bell
peppers, and cayenne, this sharp and spicy
Chao selection will pair well with a rich-but-
balanced wine, helping to bring out notes
like blackberries, tobacco, or black pepper.
Complement the cheese's sharpness with
a slightly-sweet sparkling Lambrusco or
choose a dry, fruity-spicy Zinfandel to bring
out its bold fl avor.
