Apples and cheese are a snack-time classic, so it’s only natural to throw them between two slices of bread and grill the whole thing up. Here, Vermont aged cheddar is paired with the timeless complement of green apples for a tart, satisfying snack.
What to buy: Look for an aged, extra-sharp cheddar cheese such as Cabot from Vermont.
Beverage pairing: Joseph Drouhin Chablis, France. This wine, a minerally and unoaked Chardonnay from northern Burgundy, has apple and pear flavors, as well as a brisk, citric bite. It’s the perfect bridge between the sharp cheese and crisp apples.
