Wine Pairings: for white wine lovers, chardonnay is a great choice, either a French White Burgundy such as Chateau de La Greffiere Macon La Roche Vineuse ($18.99) or a nice California pick like the affordably delicious Picket Fence Chardonnay ($13.99).
Red wine drinkers: Yes, you can pair red with chicken, and it’s fabulous! Try an earthy pinot noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon. We like Benton Lane ($19.99). The flavors of this dish are also enhanced by a nice Tuscan wine such as Castello di Farnetella ($13.99).
