It is a matter of taste, but I find Rioja Reserva to be beter suited to heavier meats and tend to go with my version of the 3 B's for duck (Burgundy, Beaujolais and Bourgueil)
Soup is always a problem I see finishing the reisling and maybe starting the red but not fussing too much (drink water is one standard reply, we will not even start on which water . . . Badoit, S Pellegrino, Evian and then the Germans . . .)

Hi Ed! The first definition definitely works, I've already tried it. The smoked flavour of the terrine doesn't tell me "Sherry".
Actually, I never head the CVNE. I wouldn't expect it to be a big wine. From all I heard, a rather developed old school Rioja should be more about secondary/leathery/earthy flavours in combination with good acidity.
Sherry is definitely interesting but I am afraid it will not be an option (because of the guests and availability).
I am not sure. The 02' Brun Crus are actually quite powerful.
Thanks for your suggestions, Ed! Robert
In the American wine expert Andrea Immer's latest book Everyday Dining with Wine, she matches a cauliflower/potato soup enhanced with truffle oil to French white Burgundies, either steel fermented (Louis Jadot Macon, Bouchard Puillly-Fuisse, Domaine Laroche Chablis) or barrel (Olivier Leflaive Santenay, M. Colin Saint-Aubin, Louis Latour Meursault). I have not yet tried this specific combination, but all the other matches in the book have been excellent, and I had a roasted cauliflower side dish last December at a dinner party which was served with a pretty austere California Chardonnay--the pairing was great. If you are interested in the specific recipe from Immer's book it is on page 77. Here is her website:
Bonne chance!
If you don't have Chianti Rufina and Lugana your nose will fall off.

Merci beaucoup!
