I am looking for a wine pairing for Chicken Piccata. Something in the $20 - $30 range. I am not looking for the perfect wine to match it with, just a good style of wine, if that makes sense. Searching around it looks like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. I have a couple of good bottles of Chardonnay around, so I am leaning that way. (I am assuming that they are oaked, but I have not checked them in a while.)
We will probably use this recipe:
Thanks in advance, Eric
My personal inclination would be to steer away from an oaked Chardonnay, unless you were sure it had good acidity (like say Ch. Montelena). My first instinct (since I'm not very creative) would be an Italian white- maybe a crisp Friulian white (a Sauvignon or Tocai Friulano), or a good Roero Arneis. Whatever you choose, I'd go for a white with acidity- I find a soft white with a lemony dish is usually a disaster. Dale

Dale,
Thanks for your comments.

By the time I saw the question, Mike had answered far better than I could have! Late-harvest Pinot Gris isn't one I would have thought of, intriguing idea.
