Satisfyingly toothsome Gruyère and Alpine-style cheeses have tyrosine crystals - those small, crunchy, amino acid clusters found inside aged cheeses - which are scientifically proven to release dopamine in your brain. I think the story here is that we need to eat more aged cheese - and pair it appropriately! There is none better than the Hundred Suns 'Old Eight Cut' Pinot Noir. It shows fine, ample tannins matched with just-ripe, wild strawberry, mint, cedar undertones, and an oh-so-silky body. Winemaker Grant Coulter is a pro with this finicky grape, crafting a Pinot that is as addictive as those crunchy tyrosine crystals.
