     QUESTION: What is the best kind of cheese to serve with red wine?

     ANSWER: That's a very broad question, but that said, red wine in general can be challenging to pair with cheese.

     But if there were one "go-to" combination, it would be a full-bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, with a very ripe Camembert.

     And we'd suggest spreading the cheese on toasted brioche.
