It has something to do with the whites being oxidized...and the funk of the Jura cancels out the funk of the asparagus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-73319834000020864522011-05-19T10:20:53.905-04:002011-05-19T10:20:53.905-04:00I'd vote for Muscat from Alsace.

With a dish such as the one you've described, including the rich and delicious eggs (some prosciutto wouldn't hurt either) I'd recommend a weightier, slightly creamy Gruner Veltliner, such as something from the Lamm vineyard.<br /><br />Also, it's a proven fact that if you drink Gruner Veltliner with Asparagus your pee won't smell so bad afterward. True story. Even if you do have to drink a LOT of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-4659329218343723712011-05-18T15:33:26.362-04:002011-05-18T15:33:26.362-04:00Muscat d'Alsace and Moscato d'Asti (if you...Muscat d'Alsace and Moscato d'Asti (if you like petillance) work great with asparagus, too!<br /><br />Love your idea to roll the dice & stop thinking about pairing...which is a very '80s thing.

If asparagus is a main thing on my plate, I often reach for muscadet. I've never tried this, but I sense Sigalas Santorini would go well/better, especially if there are eggs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
