Can you help me?
You can also try some goat cheese. I like the kind rolled ashes.
A chocolate dusted Manchego (hard spanish cheese) stands up well on it's own with some port.
Try putting out some fig jam. It goes very well with both the Blue and the Goat cheeses on crackers. It's savory and sweet at the same time. Very yummy.
Jarlsberg Swiss slices offer a very nice contrast to apricots also.
Let me know if you need more.

A good bleu cheese with fresh, sliced pears.
Jarlsburg is a very nice smooth cheese from the low countries. I love it and it goes great with almost anything, including fruit.
My personal favorites, success guaranteed for the cheese-fan :) Pick one or more from each category, serve them on a wooden platter with a seperate knife for each cheese.
