Pairing ideas: Northern California artisan wine and cheese

Buongiorno,
Our event is just a few days away, so I'm opening this post to help us come up with creative pairings. If you know what you're bringing, leave a comment on this post. That way, others can pair their wine/cheese with your contribution. If you have any questions, post them, and Alison Bing (author of Lonely Planet's Napa & Sonoma Encounter) and I will gladly suggest promising pairings.

Grazie, see you all on Saturday! (Location details will be emailed on Wednesday to all event participants).

I'll be making 2 loaves of my carrot and walnut long-fermentation artisan bread: perfect with Point Reyes Blue by Cowgirl Creamery (there are at least 2 people bringing it). Don't miss it!
I'm also making a tangy fresh goat cheese from Summer Hill Farms whole goat milk.

Hey guys, I'm bringing Elizabeth Spencer '07 Sonoma Rose of Syrah Cuvee & Unti '04 Dry Creek Grenache Doux (late harvest). Can't wait...

Hi guys,

Cheeses I'm Bringing (for 2 people):

1 lb Pt.Reyes Blue
3/4 lb of Cow Girl Mt. Tam Cheese
3/4 lb of Cow Girl Red Hawk Cheese

I'll likely be stopping by Whole Foods in the morning and see if they have any new CA cheeses as well.

I'm at least bringing a Morbier with a Valley of the Moon Pinot Blanc, probably another pairing as well.

Sorry for the last minute response, but I'm bring two wines from Grey Stack Cellars in Bennett Valley. A sauvignon blanc and a rose. Looking forward to seeing you again Marco and Al!!I am a fan of Unti too!
