We hosted a small 2000 Bordeaux tasting tonight. We were to have food, but the caterer cancelled at the last minute. I came here last night to get cheese pairing ideas. All were GREAT. I ended up with: Roquefort (I think my fav w/ the wine--the salty flavor really was outstanding) Morbier Comte Aged English Farmhouse Cheddar Double Cream Brie Guiggesburg Swiss All but the swiss I bought at Trader Joe's along with their house brand water cracker and bagette. Also, per your suggestion, we had seedless red grapes on the table. Some attending didn't even try the Morbier or Roquefort because they "don't like blue cheese". While I would not enjoy it by itself (unlike the other cheeses), with the wine I thougt both were heavenly. I would never have tried these, but for your endorsement. Thank you very much for contributing to an outstanding tasting event. Thank you SO much! We hosted a small 2000 Bordeaux tasting tonight.

For cheese, I would suggest a Cantal, Tomme de Savoie, or Salers. Cheers, Emily Hello Richard,

I have a recipe for a Fig and Olive tapenade. Do you think that would be too sweet? I was thinking of an herbed goat cheese with that. But I am totally open to suggestions. What do you think??? Thanks so much! Richard Hi Emily,

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but there is a Podcast/Radio show that does this very same thing with movies in the theaters. It's called "Reel Pour." You can get it completely for free from itunes and it's fast becoming one of my favorite radio shows. They are funny and interesting and "taste" the wine and the movie for you. You should check them out. I like most of your list… I’m not sure if you know this or not, but there is a Podcast/Radio show that does this very same thing with movies in the theaters.

Point Reyes Original Blue would be a fine choice. Cheers, Emily Hi MaryJ,
