October 2016: Dutch wine-writer Hubrecht Duijker gives Jan space to talk about white wine and cheese.

Jan explains in an interview with Hubrecht Duijker how white wine best accompanies most cheeses, describing the wine and cheese tastings done at Rives-Blanques with Cheese Master Ron Pieters of the Dutch Reypenaer cheese company.

It all started with the legendary Bill Hogan some fifteen years ago, an American cheesemaker in Ireland who was almost as famous for working in the back office of Martin Luther King as he was for his great artisanal cheeses – which he paired with our Blanquette de Limoux in a ‘great explosion of oxygen’.

(In the same edition, Hubrecht Duijker selected our ‘surprising’ chenin blanc, Dédicace, as one of his ‘finds’ of the month.)
