This didn't turn out the way I had hoped -- perhaps it needed to roast longer? I used baby fennel in whole-bulb form and it was a bit tough on the outside (perfect on the inside) and the goat cheese kind of took over the flavor. My husband liked it and requested to have it again.

Good, but needs some clarification. I used Moscato wine (dessert wine), which brought out a very unpleasant sour/pickled taste in the fennel - assuming this is my fault for not heeding "DRY white wine". Goat cheese and herbs go well with both the fennel and wine. Took off 1/2 star for not listing the size of the baking dish or explaining "arrange fennel". I used an 8x8 dish for 3 regular-size fennel bulbs (sliced) [I have never seen baby-size in any store]; the slices were layered like a gratin. Another 1/2 star off for the excessive liquid - the end result was submerged. I will make this again, but will try replacing the liquid with 1/2C of the water used from boiling (to increase the fennel taste) and 1/2C of Sauvignon Blanc.

Delish! I used just one large fennel bulb, and cut it into thick slices. This ended up being about half the fennel, I think, so I halved everything else. The goat's cheese really made it. I've made fennel before, and everyone rejected it. This time my hubby asked for seconds!
