1st service
Start off with smooth and light red or white wines that are predominantly fruity.
2nd service
The medium intensity of these cheeses calls for a white wine that is both fresh and round or a delicate red, charming without being robust.
3rd service
The substantial character of these cheeses calls for a full-bodied, smooth white wine that may contain a few grams of residual sugar or a southern red wine that is rich and low in acidity. The strong flavour of the blue cheeses will be controlled by combining it with a fortified wine (like Port) or a mellow or sweet wine, because the sugar content of these wines plays down the intense flavour.
