Favorite Wine & Cheese pairings...

[TheEngineer]

I like a couple of combinations where I want the cheese and wine to really work together.

(1) a maytag blue with Sauternes.
(2) a Goat Cheese with a Sauvignon Blanc

A bit on the wide side
(3) Really thin Parmigiano-Reggiano Stravecchio with Moscato D'asti (for lunch) or a slightly thicker cut with a light Nebbiolo for dinner (with a touch of 25 year old balsamic vinegar).

Some red and cheese combinations I find clobber the cheese a bit and cover the wine but I still like Aged Wisconson Cheedars with a medium bodied cabernet Sauvignon.
