Latour with Guinea Fowl?

I've mentioned before that when when I go down to the cellar to pick something for the evening, I find myself shying away from grapes whose personalities are very forward. I prefer something less been there done that. There's no Gewürz in the cellar, even though it can be delightful. Riesling is next in line in terms of basic predictability, no matter how much beauty there might be in the details. Perhaps others' shift away from Riesling might have something to do with that as well, instead of, or coupled with, the issue of dryness.

Interesting. Lots of neutral grapes out there. Many choices.

I am sympathetic to this stance. Often I want harmony at the dining table, not a dramatic recitative.

Distinguishing between which oyster goes with Pepiere and which with Luneau-Papin (which cuvée of Pepiere, which of Luneau-Papin? are there different oysters for the Briords, the Clisson, the des allees and the L d'Or?) certainly does sound like the joy of pedantry to me. Nor should such joys be dissed or sniffed at? Give up the joy of pedantry today, and the joy of wine will not be far behind.
