DOESN'T WORK
Pinot Gris, Kuentz-Bas (Alsace)
White, Still
Pairing Idea: Alsace pinot gris
The wine has a little sweetness to it and the food rips the sweetness out of the wine, makes the wine hollow, no finish on it. And all the fruit in the middle is pulled out, not enough fruit extract through the middle. The wine isn't short on acid, but it's acting that way.
