Wine and Shortbread


Savory cook­ies are the per­fect excuse to crack open a bot­tle of wine and set­tle in with your guests dur­ing the hol­i­days. These Gruyère and Thyme Short­bread Cook­ies fea­ture fra­grant herbs and an ele­ment of sophistication. 

But­tery crumb cook­ie is accen­tu­at­ed by the earthy thyme, and pairs per­fect­ly with a bold red wine. We rec­om­mend one of our Syrahs to pair with this unique twist on a cheese dessert.

Crack a bot­tle of THE BED­FEL­LOW 2022 Syrah blend to pair the cookie’s herba­ceous notes with the wine’s lush berry fla­vors and spicy pep­per under­tones. A lighter coun­ter­part is the JUST BECAUSE 2023, 100% Syrah with a live­ly burst of lush berries, bright acid­i­ty and a play­ful hint of white pep­per. This unbri­dled Syrah offers depth to the palate with every nib­ble of cookie.

We’re all for lin­ger­ing with our guests dur­ing the hol­i­days and these cook­ies will serve as an after din­ner treat, an after­noon open­er, or even a late night snack! Enjoy!
