Any wine suggestions for following menu? First course is a melon, mozzarella, proschutto with basil oil. Second is a Tomato Mushroom Bisque and main is Chicken with garlic and roasted pepper sauce.

First course could be a pinot grigio or chablis. The chicken dish cries out for a chianti classico.

Hopefully someone else will suggest a wine for the soup since I'm not crazy about tomato soups/bisques. I would think the wine would need some acidity though.

Welcome to the boards by the way.

Thanks, I was considering your suggestions for the Pinot Grigio and the Chianti, but am still struggling with the Bisque. Maybe it's time to make salad instead!

What comes to mind is...

Medium dry riesling with the appetiser and soup. Then Cabernet franc from the Loire with the chicken main dish.

In an Italian theme-

Prosecco for the first course, Barbera Di' Alba with the soup- and then the aformentioned Chianti Classico with the chicken.

Sounds like a great meal-

A good Tokay-Pinot-Gris would actually work with all three courses. I like the other suggestions, too.

I think Sangiovese pairs well with tomato dishes...IMO

I'd dry a sherry w/ the tomato - mushroom bisque.

Yep, I agree with DJ Hombre, dry sherry for the tomato soup, preferably a fino. (Tío Pepe or Quinta would be great.)
