Wine pairing for chicken soup?

[Kay Bixler]

Stock is simmering and it looks like chicken soup for dinner. Standard recipe: celery, carrots, onions, rice, etc.

Chardonnay? Chenin? Old chenin?

I like Altesse with chicken soup, preferably Dupasquier.

Bereche rose?

Against the "no wine with soup" mantra, Soave Classico!

Is there any wine in the world that would NOT work perfectly well here? Just drink what you're in the mood for!

Turley zinfandel has always been my chicken soup matchup of choice. Give it a shot, it might surprise you!

Makes sense, in a Yixin sort of way.

Altesse is a great suggestion. None on hand so tried an older Savennieres which is what I wanted to open. It worked okay but a young, fruity pinot still cold from the cellar was a better match. I will try Turley zin next time.

Thanks, all!
