Introducing Summer Fridays at Wedgewood Cheese Bar — our weekly drop-in tasting from 3–5PM, featuring complimentary pours from our favorite wine partners and perfectly paired cheese samples.
This week we're featuring PROOF's showcase of chilled reds and pairing them with some wildcard cheeses - unconventional cheeses that you've probably never seen or heard of.
Here's the lineup:
🍷 Müller-Ruprecht Rot (Pfalz, Germany)
🌶️ Paired with Alisios (Canary Islands)
Light-bodied, juicy, and herbaceous. Think chilled cherry juice with a wink. Alisios brings paprika-swept warmth and buttery texture for a seaside-meets-forest kind of harmony.
🍷 Angelot Mondeuse (France)
🐄 Paired with Coppinger (Sequatchie Cove Creamery, TN)
Dark fruit, cracked pepper, a little wild—this chillable red loves funk. Enter Coppinger: smoky, floral, with that alpine wash-rind swagger. Together, they’re flirty and feral in the best way.
🍷 Villa di Corlo Lambrusco (Emilia-Romagna, Italy)
🐄 Paired with Ubriacone
Fizzy, fruity, unapologetically fun. Ubriacone’s wine-soaked rind and firm, nutty interior are made to party with Lambrusco. A pairing that says: we came for the bubbles, we stayed for the cheese.
Come cool down. Snack up. Sip your way through something new.
Because Summer Fridays need a sidekick—and we brought three.
