DOESN'T WORK
Champalou Les Fondraux
White, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
Just makes it sugary up front. The heat comes back just as much, despite the sugar up front. Here the spice and heat on the finish is as much as it was on dry wines, despite the sugar. With the food, the wine is more stone fruit, more nectarine, more peach.
