Jura: Comte

The three most common foods in Jura... walnuts, comte cheese, and yellow wine.

I remember reading an article once on how hard it is to pair cheese with wine - you just never really know what you're going to get. In truth pairing cheese with wine has got to be one of the easiest things to do - just pick the cheese that was made by the same people who made the wine. You have to know a little bit about French and Italian wine and cheese regions, but that's easier than trying to pair up 500 wines with 500 cheeses.
