Food Pairing Notes
Food Pairings: Syrah pairs great with bold foods. You can pair Syrah with anything from a blue cheeseburger to barbecue, the trick is to bring out the subtle nuances in the wine, with grilled meats- pork, beef, lamb, venison (clove and anise spices will highlight the nuances in the wine)
Cheese Pairings: Syrah is a good pairing with blue cheeses like Roquefort or gorgonzola, with salty cheeses like pecorino, Grana Padano, or even halloumi. Gouda, asiago, gruyere, and aged cheddar also make for a good Syrah cheese pairing. Syrah can also pair with aged, soft cheeses like Camembert and Brie.
