Few things go together as well as wine and cheese, which is why Trader Joe's new Ubriaco al Cabernet is the perfect blend of ingredients.
Trader Joe's new Ubriaco al Cabernet is a wine-infused cheese made by taking wheels of creamy cheese and poking holes in them, and then aging them in a mixture of dry Cabernet wine and grape marc (which is mashed grape skins) for at least eight months. The holes in the cheese help to soak up the wine, which gives the cheese a robust flavor and firm texture. As for the flavor, you can expect a fruity and ripe flavor profile with lightly spicy Cabernet notes that give "every bite an expansive suite of flavors that’s a bit like enjoying a fine wine and fine cheese at the same time," Trader Joe's explains.
