I'd say white and my own preference would be a chardonnay, preferably a Burgundy such as Mersault or one of the hyphenated-Montrachets. Chablis might work for me as well. I wouldn't do any of the crisper or flintier or citrusy varietals of white.

If folks like red, then a Beaujolais cru or one of the lighter styles of Pinot Noir.

But, of course those are just my seeds thrown before this august group to see what sprouts.

Ed, Thanks for your seeds... Rick

Well I would do Benziger Carneros Chard USD 12. It is big, oaky and a bit over the top. Great USA Chard for the money. A crowd pleaser. But even better would be Bonny Doon's Pacific Rim Riesling. Riesling is the way to go. Selbach makes a "dry riesling" much like Bonny Doon. Yes, the more I think about it, Riesling is the way to go.

Salut/Hi Rick Dalderis,

Only problem with Chicken Kiev is that it is often made with a VERY garlicky butter. If you do that, all bets are off. Otherwise:-

If you like a white with chicken (I do) Chateau Burbank Chardonnay 2000 If you like red with chicken (I do) Chateau Burbank Pinot Noir 2000

OK, so Tom's a friend of mine, but his wine's glorious and would complement that sort of dish to perfection. I see burgundian style wines as being good complements.

I looked at the labels on the 1978 DRC Montrachet on the one bottle I have. Mine is bottle 1848 out of a total of only 2735 produced. That means there were only about 228 cases for the whole world. This is a small amount for a major Burgundy estate, but much larger than the production of some top TBAs from Germany. My bottle was distributed by Leroy. It was shipped by E. S. wines of Switzerland. It was imported by Direct Import Wine Co., Niles, IL (Chicago area). It ended up at a Chicago Wine Company auction. My wine record book shows that I estimated the worth at about $600 many years ago, which was more than I paid several years earlier at the auction. I have a stack of auction records, but do not have time to sort through this random mess of records.
