Champagne and most whites will work. I'd probably go for Champagne with Riesling as my second choice.


Just one more sip.

Are you having anything else besides the soup?
And, it is beef based?

Dry Oloroso or Amontillado Sherry.

Seriously.

Soup is ahead of prime rib paired with Millennium, a Cab/Merlot blend from Wash state.

Yes.

THIS might help you. I also agree the sherry would work, but prefer Pinot with my onion soup.

If you're using good stock, definately Pinot.
