DOESN'T WORK
Vouvray "Clos du Bourg" Sec, Huet
White, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
All the fruit gets washed out. That wine wasn't neutral, but the fruit didn't survive. The wine is a balance-driven wine and when you put a complex flavor--the food--next to it, the wine struggles to maintain its balance and the subtle earth aromas and complexity get lost, it's off balance.
