Brie

What are some good wines to go with a nice, mild brie?

Uncork another of your Moulin A Vents.

Probably wouldn't be able to get one on that short notice, but I can get a beaujolais-village on short notice, would that work? and what other suggestions are there?

The Joseph Drouhin, LaForet, Pinot Noir that we've been touting lately would match nicely and is widely available.

Any Beaujolais, cabernet franc, pinot noir or Cotes-de-Rhone would go nicely with the brie. Of if you wish to be a bit more traditional, get a sparkling wine or a white burgundy to go with your brie - Cote d'Or.

I love brie. I had some the other day that was encroute (sp?). We baked it at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. It had a bit of mango marmelade on top of the cheese under the pastry. Oooooh, delicious.

IK, Thanks for the pinot recomendation. It was very good, one of the best pinot's i've had.

Another baked brie recipe: Apricot jam, thinly sliced caramelized onions, & chopped toasted hazelnuts layered in the center & on top of wheel of brie sliced horozontally, then wrapped in phyllo dough or crust of your choice. Left em crying for more...practically licked the plate....

Thanks for that suggestion. My mouth is already starting to water..........

Oh Garbo, I'm salivating, and I don't even care for hazelnuts! That sounds absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Gotta get my Marth Stewart-esque wife (we're talking domestic skills here, folks; my wife is better looking [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] ) to whip this one up. Thanks!
