One cheese on the loop, with something to drink beside it, something for the driver, and the road either side.

Drink
Riesling, off-dryA mild buttery cheese needs a little sweetness and a lot of acidity, not tannin.
Driving
Apple and elderflowerSoft sweetness with acid behind it.

A classic pairing — settled enough that it belongs to the region.
