Perhaps I'm dense, but "Women's" has to be a possessive(*) there,
does it not? In that case, it most modify either "wine" or "class".
The intent, as we both know, is for it to modify "class". But if it
modifies "wine", then you would not ask which woman to pair with
Gorgonzola, but which woman's wine or perhaps which women's wine.

I can't see any way to parse that phrase to pair women with cheeses.
Can you elucidate?


(*) WIWAL, it would be a possessive adjective. God knows these days,
but I'm guessing a determiner. In any case, not a noun.
