With Wine Down Box their expertly curated pairings draw from the best small-batch California wines and deliver them with fresh, artisanal cheese, handcrafted charcuterie, and scratch-made crackers. They kindly sent us this box for review.
I honestly don’t know if there could be a better box subscription to land in my lap. Not only am I a really big fan of wine, but wine and cheese and meat and crackers …. heaven!!! Not only would this make a great gift for someone but it’s also great as a special little treat for yourself!!!!!
Nita Crisp Breadcracker
These were the perfect cracker for the pairing with the meat and cheese. They had a nice little touch of flavor without being too strong. The meat and cheese got to shine through nicely and they have the perfect crunch!!
Alle-Pia Fine Cured Meats
Love the choice of Salami that was in this box!!! Not only were they the perfect size for the cracker but the flavor was just right and paired really nice with the wine!!
Plymouth Garlic Peppercorn Artisan Cheese
At first I was kinda hesitant with a cheese that was a garlic and peppercorn flavor. It turns out that it wasn’t as strong as I thought it would be but was just perfect and paired so nicely with everything!!
Cardella Merlot
Ok, so I am not normally a Merlot drinker … I will take a Cabernet Sauvignon every time. But let me just say, this wine was a beautiful match for the cheese, meat and cracker!!!
Wine Down Box Review December 2017 – Final Thoughts
I loved how Wine Down Box took all the leg work out of wine pairing. I got to enjoy a glass without trying to figure out how to pair all the food with the wine. This box is one of a kind and I really truly loved it and can’t wait for the next one. We used it for a date night but it would also be great to give as a hostess gift!
