Cakebread Cellars

A Perfect Pairing by Chef Brian Streeter

A fresh, earthy and creamy bite with a touch of sweetness, paired with Cakebread Vin de Porche Rosé.

At Cakebread Cellars, food and wine have belonged together since the winery was founded in 1973. That philosophy comes to life in Chef Brian Streeter’s perfect pairing. Inspired by Chioggia beets growing in Cakebread’s estate garden and the release of its rosé, the bite captures the winery’s belief that what grows together often goes together.

The Bite

Fresh strawberries and earthy beets create a vibrant contrast to the tangy richness of goat cheese. The Artisan Crisp brings delicate sweetness, texture and a subtle cacao note that completes the bite.

The Wine

Cakebread Vin de Porche Rosé

The strawberry-beet tartare amplifies the rosé’s berry character, while the wine’s bright acidity balances the creamy goat cheese. Together, they create a refreshing, layered pairing in which the food and wine bring out the best in one another.
