Wine to accompany meatloaf

[Thomas]

Ik is correct. Veal here is from milk-fed calves; the meat is white and light and, provided the purveyor is good, tender.

In fact, most veal dishes I prepare (except the meatloaf or meatballs) are well paired with white wines like Riesling and Chardonnay.

But Bucko you have provided me with some insight--not the first time. A long time ago on this board there was a discussion about pairing wine with a veal dish. Now I know why some on the Left Coast were talking red wine, and I was talking white. I never knew what IK points out about Left Coast veal.
