Good Wine Pairing???

Question

I am making a dinner of chicken and herb goat cheese with roasted veggies...What would be a good wine to go with this meal?

Also for dessert, I am making a strawberry and goat cheese pizza along with chocolate covered strawberries and a strawberry napoleo...What is a good dessert wine that would go with these?

Thank you

Answer 1

For your chicken, try a Riesling from WA or CA, drier the better.

Bonny Doons, Pacific Rim Riesling is good.

For Dessert, try a Muscato or late harvest Gewurztraminer,

Electra from CA is nice, Or Nergro D' Asti Have fun

Answer 2

Not a bad meal, although I hate goat cheese.

You can stay with one wine for your entree and dessert. I definetly would not go with anything too sweet.  I would suggest a nice California Chardonnay or a Washington St. or New York dry Riesling.

The chocolate covered strawberries begs for a nice sparkling wine. Any California white sparkling, or if you want to go all out you can try a nice French Champagne.  

Answer 3

White wine goes good with chicken, maybe a pinot grigio would be best. For dessert you could do a sparking cabernet, something different and fun.

Answer 4

Most of serving wine is based upon your palate & what you'd enjoy, along with your price range.  

You can obtain a good California Chardonnay for around $20.  I've had very pleasing results from J. Lohr > they make both red & whites.  Redwood Creek is another brand in the economy range > much of their product comes from Italy & California.  I find Pinot Grigo to be a tad sweet, but if you like less dry, that would be another option.  You want to be sure to serve chilled too.

For dessert, a sparkling wine would be great > this is also called Champagne if it comes from France.  Asti from Italy is excellent.
