wine pairings with matzo-ball soup and palacsintas?

[Robert Lauriston]

We're having a Hungarian Jewish dinner with matzo-ball soup (with some fresh ginger in the dumplings) and túrós palacsintas (cheese blintzes, slightly sweet with a little cinnamon).

Riesling immediately comes to mind.

Champagne or other sparkling wines.

I read your post immediately after trying for the first time the 2009 Jasnières from Pascal Janvier. I couldn't avoid associating it with your menu. Here's David Shildknecht's description:

Janvier’s 2009 Jasnieres – assembled from man pieces in February (the same date as for his other wines) – smells of orange blossom, musky narcissus, candied orange rind, iris, honeysuckle, and quince. White peach and lime combine with the aforementioned floral and quince notes on a palate of silken texture yet levity, with subtly bitter notes of peach kernel and citrus rind helping to keep the residual sugar that’s present from making the wine taste significantly sweet. The crustacean element in the present instance is like the whole oyster: shell, liqueur, and innards, all mingled with the fruit and flowers in a distinctively – indeed, from a global perspective, deviantly – delicious denouement.

Since spam accusations will be unavoidable, here goes the full info: K&L, $16.99

I never knew you could make wine that way........"assembled from man pieces". Actually that does help explain a few things. :o))))))))))))))))

Tried, but just couldn't resist.

Navarro dry Muscat was the best match for the matzo-ball soup. With the palacsintas I liked a 1993 Riesling spatlese the best .
