The Case for Wine: Carlos Kainz owns and manages Dulces Latin Bistro in Seattle, Washington, along with his wife, chef Julie Guerrero. "Anytime you think of Brie, you can't help but serve apples with it. Pascal Jolivet Sancerre ($48) from the Loire Valley is just that--crisp apples and citrus notes rich enough to cut through the flavor of the Brie."
