Should be good. Lots of fruit goes beautifully with gorgonzola.

Will try it the next time we have guests. I'm thinking of altering it by using a whole wheat baguette. Whole Foods generally has them. It would be healthier and I think tastier, as the more nutty taste of the whole grain bread should blend with the pears and gorgonzola.
