(I hope this is the right forum for this!) I am looking for good cheese and wine combos to call a whinny officer at work (“would you like some cheese with that whine?”). We are both getting pretty elaborate with the insults and I need some help here! “Whinnybutt” actually fits him perfectly, but already in use by a fellow dispatcher so I don’t want to snag it! Help me be creative! 🙂 ---

Okay, Coldfire, add my name to the “I love Coldfire” list. Any guy who knows how to match cheese and wine is way up on my list. Since you stole my thunder, I’ll amend my entry accordingly: 1. How about some camembert with that Cote-du-Rhone? -or- 2. How about some roquefort with that tawny port? ---

It’s a northern italian soft cheese. somewhat reminiscent of mozzarella mixed with cheddar mixed with petite basque. Nice and light and soft. Goes very well with slightly sweet white wines, like leapfrogsmilch, which is a 88% chenin blanc, 12% reisling blend.
