Having Armenian Apricot and Lentil soup, "Bombay Chicken" (made with light curry), rice with nuts and fruit, and steamed broccoli.
Can anyone think of anything besides beer and Gewurztraminer? (I am not a big fan of GTM).

A Spatlese would be my choice.
Alsatian Pinot Gris may be nice as well.
My first instinct would be Gewurtztraminer, and the two other whites already mentioned would be my next choices.
If you want something outside the envelope, if the cury is light and mild enough, Chateau Musar might be a very good match, or alternatively, an '03 Chateauneuf. Either should work with the soup and the rice, but curry is always... well, so curryish.

we'll go light on the curry. The Musar sounds good. Board-O's idea works for me. We shall see.
Many thanks for all the ideas.

No problem here. Get the #1 choice of WE n the Trimbach $39 Reisling.
That's a new one for me. Never even heard of this soup. Are apricots fresh or dried? I'd make my selection based on that. The fresh ones will have a more subtle impact on soup's composition. I suspect this one is made with dried apricots (dried fruits is a tradition all across the Caucus region). Please let me know your impression of this soup, Irwin.
ahh yes, apricot and lentil soup. One of my favorites. I love a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon in mine. I recommend a pungent Santa Barbara California Syrah.
I'll post the recipe tomorrow.
Had the '02 Marcel Deiss Pinot Gris the other day and it was great and I think would pair up nice or Board-o's choice.
