St. Francis Winery & Vineyards is located in the heart of Sonoma Valley. They produce bold flavored, fruit forward and full-bodied wines that have gained global recognition. These pairings were just featured at the Master Class tasting series at Bloomingdale's.
St. Francis heritage in Sonoma County dates back to its roots as a premium grape grower in the early 1970's and since then has committed
to producing superior quality wines. St. Francis was
recently named “International Red Wine Maker of the
Year” by the London International Wine Challenge.

- Crater Lake Blue: Gold Medal winning blue cheese from the Rogue Valley Creamery in Oregon. Robust and sweet with a rich buttery finish. (8 oz.) Pair with St. Francis Cabernet Sauvignon..
-
San Joaquin Gold: A new artisan cheese made by Fiscalini Farms of Modesto, California. It is semi-hard with a natural rind and a sweet, salty, buttery taste. (8 oz.) Pair with St. Francis Syrah.
