What to serve with Soups?

[Innkeeper]

Hi Cariengon, and welcome to the Wine Board. 1999 or 2000 Cave De Lugny, Macon-Lugny, Les Charmes, Chardonnay. It is a very nice journeyman white (an oak free chardonnay) that goes great with seafood and other light meals, including light soup. It runs under $10. Most other Maconnaise will do fine, but the more you pay for them the greater chance you will find devil oak, which really spoils seafood. There are a handful of "Unwooded" Australian Chardonnays. They run between $12 - $18, and all I've tried are very nice.

You may also want to consider a sauvignon blanc. Again you want to avoid the wood. Those from New Zealand and the Lorie Region of France usually fill this bill. Villa Maria from Kiwiland, and Chateau De Sancerre, Passe Avant Le Meilleur, Sancerre or any other nice Sancerre you can find would be recommended.
