Food Pairing:  This wine pairs well with any kind of cheese, fruit and a bit of spice.  The pairing that was presented was in keeping with the time of year (Thanksgiving) while still featuring the foods that go best with the wine.  Slightly sweet crackers with cranberry and almonds were offered with a mild cranberry cheese from England that some said tasted like cheese cake.  As a second snack, ground turkey was mixed with baked sweet potato, ginger and orange zest for a baked turkey fritter.
