Pairing Wines With Food

[J Piper]

What wine goes well with veal?

[wondersofwine]

If the veal is cooked in a light sauce or cream sauce such as Rahmschnitzel, a Riesling from Germany matches nicely (perhaps a Kabinett or Spatlese). Riesling is also a good match for breaded veal cutlet or veal piccata. If the veal is done with a heavier sauce such as gypsy style (Zigeunerschnitzel) or with tomato sauce and cheese, etc. (veal parmesan) you might consider a chianti or other red wine.

Hi Piper, and welcome to the Wine Board. Agree with WOW. Another option for the more simple Italian recipes is Vermentino, an Italian White with more zip than usual. If you throw some Marsala into the veal, you will need a big Chianti Classico to counteract it.
