4. Stilton Appetizers with Flint 1999 Pinot Noir Gary's Vineyard

5. Robust Cheeses (raclette, emmenthal, Maytag Blue, Morbier, Camenbert...) with Cabernet Sauvignon (we are tasting a fabulous 1999 Carmenet $69.99)
Choose cheeses that can be cut into cubes or slices for finger foods, avoiding too many crackers and such. Simple Baguette slices are wonderful. Perhaps a little salty anchovie or nuts, but sparingly.
6. Chocolates...with above Cabernet or serve Ladyfingers to dip into a Late Harvest Santa Barbara Sauvignon Blanc 1998
