It depends. Experts always advise to use wine and cheese on the opposite side of the taste spectrum.
So, if the cheese is sharp or strong then go with a mellow wine. If the cheese is soft and mellow, then go with a stronger wine, so as to have a contrast and appreciate both tastes.

The best combination with Blue cheese from any country is Port. If not port, than a sweet wine - maybe a Sauternes or a Canadian Icewine or Late Harvest wine.

Definately a Sauterne, don't listen to anyone who tells you to serve a Merlot, a Pinot Noir or anything else red and soft. If you are going red then it would want to be something BIG and fruity like a cabernet. But I would definately forget all else and go with the Sauterne. I do agree that a canadian ice wine would suit too.

Blue cheese is a very strong cheese. Serve a GOOD Merlot.

hmmm, definitely a red one! try a really strong one, but if u wanna make an impression try to serve the cheese with champagne (more wow factor for the guests, plus it really tastes great) - go for the french champagne or the Italian one.
