- dozer - 11-05-2007 what would make a good pairing with chestnut soup? rather basic, just chesnuts, stock and onion/celery pureed. - TheEngineer - 11-05-2007 You are looking for something to balance the creamy,earthy, smooth decadent nature of the chesnut along with the freshness of the celery/onion ... so totally off the wall.. Hows about a well aged Rhone? or a completely different direction, and aged Rioja white...like over a decade old..... - Thomas - 11-05-2007 Manzanilla Sherry - TheEngineer - 11-06-2007 Foodie's option is better than mine. I've still a lot to learn here. - DS - 11-06-2007 Since the chestnuts will lend a smoky and sweet note to the soup, I would recommend a slightly off-dry German Riesling (such as Dr. LoosenÂfs basic Riesling). The sweetness in both the soup and the wine will balance well, while enhancing the smokiness of the chestnuts. |
