Wine is Gluten Free

Red Wine and Chocolate, Yummmm

I guess I need to clarify my Blog a bit. A number of people want to know what kind of wine is Gluten Free and which isn’t?  I made an assumption (not a good one I’m guessing from the comments) that everyone on a GF diet knows that wine is naturally Gluten Free.

So – I want to give tips to other GF persons who might need to find fun foods to pair with wine because the fact that Wine IS gluten free is one of the best things about Wine.

I want to encourage people who are gluten intolerant to be sure to check the cheeses they are pairing with the wine to be sure the cheese is GF too. I remember when I was told by my nutritionist that bleu cheese was suspect and best to stay away from when I told him I love to drink red wine with Bleu or stilton cheese. Most hard cheeses are OK, veined cheeses are not. Goat cheese is GF but most cottage cheese is not…of course, when all else fails, forget the cheese …Dark Chocolate (70% Cacao or more) is always a good choice!!
