Moscato spumante and old vine zin?

what cheese/s would go good with these two wines?

Moscato spumante and old vine zin?
Well, Moscato Spumante is going to be a bit on the sweet/fruity side - a nice smoked gouda might pair well with it. Monterey Jack would be okay. Nothing too sharp. Fresh Mozzarella with some olive oil drizzled over it and some grape tomatoes and fresh basil would work. Regular mozzarella and crackers would be fine, too. Some brie and fruit (strawberries, if you can get them) would be great! Keep it mellow.



Old vine zin would be able to stand up to sharp cheeses, like aged cheddar or goat cheese spreads. Smoked cheeses go well with zin, too. It's also really nice with dark chocolate.
