What are people's favorite pairings with roasted chicken?

Hi Dozer, I'm "new" but "old" as well to the board! CCK

Straight out, w/no herbs and all that jazz, roasted chicken?
Washington riesling if I am in the mood for white and Zinfandel if red. Grovin' on Trentadue zins lately.

[wondersofwine]

German Riesling or a light to medium-body Pinot Noir such as Steele Carneros Pinot Noir or Argyle (from Oregon) or a village Volnay (from Burgundy region of France).

Good suggestions--also try St. Chinian, Refosco, Gruner Veltliner, and most dry Rose/Rosato.

I forgot to mention Beaujolais-Villages as another light red to go with roasted fowl. Louis Jadot and Joseph Drouhin are two usually reliable producers.

[chittychattykathy]

Really, this is almost a wide open wine field, I mean if you change the side dishes around a bit or add seasonings you could serve most any med to light red, about any rose and most whites.

[Thomas]

Just about--cck, except for that cursed oaked-chardonnay stuff...

[chittychattykathy]

I know you figured that wasn't even a passing thought for any of us....

Actually if you slather the chicken with enough butter, one of those those buttery, not too oaky chards is the only way I will drink them with the exception of buttered popcorn.
