okay, i admit that sometimes a great cheese will set of a wine beautifully.
but the lactose and fat in the cheese will clog your palate. it's like trying to listen to a great system with your favourite motorbike helmet on.
feel free to disagree

That's kind of a left-handed way of looking at what I've also heard/learned:
You want to make any wine taste good, serve it with cheese.
If you want to be tasting the wine sevre it with unsalted water-based crackers. (not butter- or oil-based crackers)
That said, I like port with macadamia nuts and sometimes, when I know the wine (port) is good with muenster or white, not sharp New York cheddar. The macadamias are little on the extra oily side but they're a subtle nut compared to many others.
Now, back to my last bottle of '83 Taylor. sigh ...
- My vintage ports are disappearing all too fast. Only one more '77 left. The there's one '80 magum of Grahams and one '83 Grahams. double sigh ... ...
