Food-friendly?

On a web board there's a thread about a dinner where the theme was "wines that go with anything. " Some of the wines participants brought as candidates for super-food-friendly wines included 1997 St Cosme Cote Rotie “Montsalier”,

1997 Gaja Sori Tilden Barbaresco , & 1998 Brunel Les Cailloux CNP. Wow. Some people' s ideas of versatile wines differ a lot from mine.

If attending a dinner like that, I think I might go for GC Chablis, Smaragd GruVe, off-dry Mosel Riesling, or a medium bodied red with good acidity (good Volnay or Chianti Classico maybe). The last thing I'd probably choose would be a huge ripe modern red. Am I crazy? Please answer that question only in reference to wine. :)

I think what you've said makes a lot of sense, dale. Of course, I'm usually trying to achieve a match better than just "wine that will go with anything". But among whites a Gruner Veltliner or German Riesling would be right at the top of the list for food friendly. I also can't imagine taking any of the mentioned reds to such a dinner.

I agree. Though having good food-friendly wines in mind can come in handy. Potluck dinners, for instance (if our Europeans don't understand,a communal dinner where everyone brings a dish, with no or minimal coordination). Dale
