Cheese, England
Claret is a term used by the English when referring to red wines from the Bordeaux region of France. This cheese (sometimes called "Windsor Red") blends the wine from France with the cheese from England into a beautiful, mottled cheese. The cheese looks similar to Sage Derby, except the veins that run throughout this cheese are a beautiful, dark red rather than the vivid green of Sage Derby. This cheese has the rich, sharp flavor of cheddar with heady overtones of wine.

Comments about Cheddar and Claret:
I was dismayed when tasting this cheese - the cheddar is weak and I could not taste the wine - overall sounded interesting, but failed to live up to the hype. One I won't be trying again.
